The Pierre Jeanneret Committee Chair is one of the most emblematic seating designs from the Chandigarh project, originally conceived for administrative and civic spaces where clarity, durability, and function were essential.

Defined by its distinctive inverted “V” leg structure and precise geometry, the chair expresses a strong architectural identity while maintaining visual balance. Its composition is both robust and refined, allowing it to function with authority without excess.

Crafted from solid teak wood, the frame reveals the natural warmth, strength, and durability that characterize Jeanneret’s work. The richness of the teak grain, combined with carefully executed joinery, gives the chair a sense of permanence and structural integrity.

The seat and backrest are handwoven in natural cane, offering flexibility, breathability, and comfort suited for both formal and everyday use. This contrast between solid wood and woven cane creates a harmonious balance between strength and lightness.

Produced using traditional techniques in Chandigarh, India, the Committee Chair maintains a direct connection to the origins of its design. Subtle variations in tone and weave reinforce its authenticity and handcrafted nature.

Versatile in its application, it functions as a dining chair, desk chair, or accent piece—equally suited for interiors that value design heritage, material honesty, and timeless form.

Its presence is structured, deliberate, and enduring.
