Designed for the College of Architecture in Chandigarh, this stool is a rare example of Pierre Jeanneret’s utilitarian furniture produced during India’s mid-century modernist period. Conceived as part of the visionary Chandigarh project, the stool exemplifies Jeanneret’s belief in honest materials, structural clarity, and modest design rooted in function.
The piece features a concave teak seat with a dark, rich patina, supported by a painted steel base. Though unassuming in scale, its integrity of form and material make it a quietly iconic example of Jeanneret’s architectural approach to furniture design.
These stools were created for the Punjab University campus, and like much of the Chandigarh furniture, they carry the patina of daily use while remaining visually rigorous and sculptural.
