Made by Cassina

Designed by Pierre Jeanneret

Pierre Jeanneret progettò la Committee Chair negli anni '50 per gli edifici amministrativi di Chandigarh, la città indiana pianificata da Le Corbusier come nuovo ideale civico. Successivamente adattata per la sede dell'UNESCO a Parigi, la sedia porta la sobria autorevolezza di quel contesto istituzionale: una solida struttura in rovere naturale unita con la stessa onestà costruttiva che definì il più ampio progetto modernista condiviso dai due cugini.

Riedita da Cassina, questa versione con braccioli è rivestita in tessuto Osaka, un tessuto il cui peso e la cui grana conferiscono calore alla silhouette precisa e rettilinea della sedia. Le proporzioni sono generose senza essere imponenti. L'incastro è deliberato. La postura che la sedia incoraggia è al tempo stesso formale e composta, ugualmente a suo agio in una sala da pranzo, in uno studio o in uno spazio di lavoro curato.

Domande Frequenti

What is the history of Pierre Jeanneret's Committee Chair?

Pierre Jeanneret originally designed the Committee Chair for the administrative and civic buildings of Chandigarh, India, in the 1950s - a city planned in collaboration with Le Corbusier. The design was later adapted for the UNESCO headquarters in Paris. Its structural clarity and honest use of materials reflect the social idealism of postwar modernism.

How does Cassina's reissue relate to the original design?

Cassina produces the Committee Chair as part of its I Maestri collection, which is dedicated to faithful reissues of canonical 20th-century designs. The construction respects Jeanneret's original intent - solid wood frame, clean joinery, and upright proportions - while offering contemporary fabric and finish options.

What fabric is used on this version of the chair?

This version is upholstered in Osaka fabric, reference 13O042 - a refined, tactile textile that complements the natural oak frame with understated warmth and contemporary sensibility.

Is the Committee Chair suitable for both residential and contract use?

Yes. The chair's architectural origins in civic and institutional settings speak to its durability and formal character, making it equally at home in a private study, a boardroom, or a dining room where considered, enduring design is prioritized.

What distinguishes Pierre Jeanneret's work from Le Corbusier's furniture designs?

While Le Corbusier's furniture tends toward sculptural boldness and industrial material experimentation, Jeanneret's work - particularly the Chandigarh pieces - is marked by a quieter constructive intelligence: solid wood, woven seats, and forms that prioritize function and craft over aesthetic statement.
