Bench designed by pierre jeanneret circa 1955, relaunched in 2020. Manufactured by cassina in italy. Cassina continues its study of the furniture of the city of chandigarh and adds the civil bench to the hommage à pierre jeanneret collection; a collection that stands out for its essential forms and simple materials, a balance between modern european ideals and traditional indian spirit. The bench, produced between 1955 and 1956 for the lodgings and apartments of the members of the indian city’s legislature assembly, consists of three consecutive seat elements supported by a single frontal crossbar and two side supports positioned in the shape of an inverted "v". The seat has the typical weaving that recurs in all the collection, that are produced in the company’s historic carpentry workshop. Optional cushions are available for added protection and comfort. This product is a tribute to pierre jeanneret, a key figure in the realization of chandigarh. His experience in india lasted until the end of his days in 1967. His close and continuous contact with the local territory led him to combine essential forms with simple materials to create a meeting point between modern european ideals and the traditional indian spirit. The chandigarh project is considered le corbusier’s most mature work that summarises his poetics, technique and ideology, consistent with his will to research and contribute to the culture of architecture and design.
