{"product_id":"al-125985","title":"Committee Table LCPJ-TAT-14-B","description":"\u003cp\u003ePierre Jeanneret was a pioneer of mid-century modernist architecture and design, defining a new aesthetic vocabulary that placed function and order over embellishment and decoration.\n\u003cbr\u003eIn the early 1950s Jeanneret and his cousin, the renowned architect Le Corbusier, undertook the urban-planning project of Chandigarh, India, conceiving everything from the city’s layout, to its buildings and their interior designs.\n\u003cbr\u003eThis Committee Table was created by Jeanneret for the Assembly in Chandigarh. The table exists in several versions, but a model of this large size able to seat 14 people very rarely comes to market, having been produced in an edition of less than 10.\n\u003cbr\u003eIt shows the rational concepts behind Jeanneret’s work, combining pure lines and geometric planes to achieve a bold sense of space. Created entirely from teak wood, a light and durable material, its main structure has curved, boomerang-shaped legs that form an X-frame to support the solid table top.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe timeless nature of Jeanneret’s furniture has led to its incredible market renaissance in recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProvenance:\n\u003cbr\u003eThis piece was acquired directly in 1999 from the Assembly of Chandigarh during a sale of reformed furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRequires Export License and Cultural Property Certificate (CBC) to leave the European Union.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLiterature:\n\u003cbr\u003eE.
