PJ-SI-28-A

This chair is an iconic piece of design. It is raw in its simplicity. The A-shaped legs are typical for many Chandigarh items. The floating backseat is a detail, which brings the shape in a surprising balance. There is an intriguing contrast between the massif wood pieces and the thin caning.


Its patinated teak gives that chair a strong character, showing all that traces of age and its uniqueness. It is finally a historic piece from a UNESCO World Heritage site, done by the most important architect of the 20th century. The chair is restored, the cane redone and with a cushion to protect the caning. It’s for daily use. We offer bigger chairs sets too.

PJ-SI-28-B Jeanneret chair

PJ-SI-28-B

Office Chair, 1955, with an incurved back attached to the seat. With straight or diamond pattern caning.

Its expressive A-shaped legs are a specific signature element for Chandigarh items. It has a raw simplicity, embodying and expressing a nonchalance like no other chair.

Each chair looks a bit different and that makes every chair to a unique piece. Some are thinner, lower, wider, darker, with wider or more dense caning, with more traces of use or less. Each chair has its own character and that makes PJ-S-28-A different to all the industrial design.

MB-TI-1A

MB-TI-1A

Wooden-slat chair called “TI-1a” is an authentic Bauhaus item designed by Marcel Breuer in 1922-1924 and crafted at the Bauhaus in Weimar. Breuer was a modernist architect, sculptor and furniture designer, best known for the design of the most iconic chairs of 20th century. He was one of the first students, pioneers and later the teacher of the Bauhaus movement as well as of the International Style.

Wooden- slat chair was made during Breuer’s firstyears at the Bauhaus school in Weimar. Its head of the school department, the architect Walter Gro-pius, immediately recognised Breuer’s talent and promoted him within a year to the head of the carpentry shop. At the Bauhaus, Breuer produced the furniture for Gropius’ Sommerfeld House in Berlin as well as his acclaimed series of “African”and “Slatted” chairs. Breuer did remarkable design with this wooden-slat chair where he used a cantilevered frame as the construction manner for the first time. The chair also represents an important series of collaborations between Breuer and the Bauhaus weaving workshops, led by German textile artist Gunta Stölzl.

While the first version of 1922 used still two different kinds of wood slats, square and rectangular once, this second version got more radical and used for everything the same dimension of slats, expressing a much stronger dynamic in the shape. The chair has rigid wooden structure which is softened by the woven fabric that allows for a gently sloping seat and back.

GR-STELTMAN CHAIR

GR-STELTMAN CHAIR

“Steltman Stoel” was designed by Gerrit Rietveld in 1963 and produced by Gerard van de Groenekan, Utrecht, before 1971. It is right-handed version. Signed by hand “G.A.v.d. Groenekan”.

This chair design was commissioned by Steltman, a jeweller in The Hague, for whom Rietveld designed a new shop interior in 1963. The original chair was completely upholstered with rubber foam and covered with white imitation leather, the seams of which ran along the edges of the wood. The version with the wooden seat was only produced after Rietveld’s death in 1964. With this last and more simple version, the 75-year-old created one of the most striking pieces of furniture in the history of design.

Gerard A. van de Groenekan began working in Gerrit Rietveld’s workshop in Utrecht in 1917 at the age of fourteen. In 1924, Rietveld decided to concentrate on architecture and left furniture production in the hands of van de Groenekan, who then continued to build many of Rietveld’s models, including older ones, under his own name. Van de Groenekan played a decisive role in the development of many designs, including this version of the Steltman chair with its wooden seat.
