The Pierre Jeanneret Library Bench reflects the same architectural clarity and material honesty that define the iconic seating designs of the Chandigarh project, translated into a refined and elongated form.

Defined by its horizontal proportions and balanced structure, the bench introduces a sense of rhythm and stability within the space. Its composition is both restrained and expressive, allowing the natural materials to remain the focal point.

Crafted from solid teak wood, the frame reveals the warmth, strength, and durability inherent to the material. The visible grain and tonal depth of the teak enhance the presence of the piece, while precise joinery ensures structural integrity and longevity.

The seat is handwoven in natural cane, offering flexibility, breathability, and a subtle textural contrast to the solidity of the wood. This interplay between materials creates a surface that is both functional and visually refined.

Produced using traditional techniques in Chandigarh, India, the bench carries forward a legacy of craftsmanship rooted in its origins. Each piece presents natural variations in tone and weave, reinforcing its authenticity and individuality.

Versatile in its application, the Library Bench can function as seating in entryways, at the foot of a bed, within a library or study, or as a sculptural element in open interiors. Its presence is quiet yet grounding—designed to complement rather than dominate the surrounding architecture.

*To maintain the integrity of the natural cane over time, we recommend using chair pads for regular seating.
