The Cassina Capitol Complex Chair is one of the most emblematic chairs in Chandigarh's Capitol Complex, found in all the Secretary's offices. A tribute to the genius of Pierre Jeanneret, this chair stands out for its original design and strong artisanal character, which make it an authentic sculptural object.
Made of solid oak or Burmese teak, the chair features an iconic V-shaped leg structure, a distinctive element that defines its formal identity. The Vienna straw-woven backrest and seat blend harmoniously with the rigorous geometry of the structure, supported by two wooden profiles and coplanar legs. The use of Vienna straw, common in the region, echoes the use of local materials such as teak, emphasising the link with the cultural and geographical context.
Essential in its lines but powerful in its stage presence, the Capitol Complex Chair by Cassina expresses mastery in transforming natural materials into simple and captivating forms. Elegant and welcoming, it fits naturally alongside modern or classic tables, inviting moments of conviviality during lunches and dinners. At the same time, it furnishes private corners of the home or representative offices with personality, becoming a symbol of sculptural design and refined authenticity.
