PJ-SI-48-B

X-Leg sofa, designed by Pierre Jeanneret circa 1960, for Chandigarh. Two crossed beams on each side form a single unit, combining armrest and leg. The beams widen slightly where they cross, visualising the weight they carry. Their outer edge is rounded, the inner edge flat, the same treatment found on Jeanneret's compass-leg pieces. Alongside the compass leg, the X-leg stands as its own family within the Chandigarh vocabulary. The sofa is related to the armchair version, PJ-SI-48-A.
