Jeanneret 055 Capitol Complex Chair

055 Capitol Complex Chair is part of the Hommage À Pierre Jeanneret collection by Cassina, created with the support of the Fondation Le Corbusier.

Ambassador of history, design and investigation, this chair by Pierre Jeanneret is among the most renowned pieces of Chandigarh’s Capitol Complex, and can be found throughout the furnishings of meeting rooms and several offices of the Secretariat. The Capitol Complex architecture by Le Corbusier, included in Unesco’s 2016 Cultural Heritage list and projected in Chandigarh in 1951, has been awarded for the celebration of an independent nation that is open to modernity. The 055 Capitol Complex armless chair features a solid wood structure made of separate pieces, among which the signature sidebars in an inverted “V” shape, a peculiar trait included in every piece by Pierre Jeanneret. Compared to the office chair of the same collection, the sidebars are shorter, as they do not extend to the arms. Refined, elegant, essential. This chair suits flawlessly any residential or contract context. A true design artwork.

Characteristics of the 055 chair by Pierre Jeanneret:

• • The chair features a seating - backrest sequence in Viennese woven cane, connected by two wooden profiles with a large geometric section. These elements structure, with the coplanar legs, a composition that is impactful and simple at the same time.
• • Cassina presents, with the historical classic version in teak, two more versions: in natural and stained black oak.
• • Upon request, it is possible to choose the optional padded cushion.
