The Capitol Complex Office Chair by Cassina is one of the most iconic chairs in the Capitol Complex in Chandigarh, originally designed for the Secretary's offices. A tribute to the visionary genius of Pierre Jeanneret, this chair stands out for its authentic design and handcrafted character, making it a true sculptural object.
Made of solid oak or Burmese teak, it features an unmistakable structure with inverted "V" legs that extend to the armrests, defining a rigorous and powerful geometric profile. The Vienna straw woven seat and backrest blend harmoniously into the composition, recalling the use of local materials and emphasising the link with the cultural context of colonial India.
Essential in form but rich in personality, the Cassina Capitol Complex Office Chair expresses the mastery of transforming natural materials into a sober, captivating and timeless design. Perfect alongside modern or classic tables, it invites moments of conviviality and fits elegantly into domestic environments or representative offices, becoming a symbol of refined authenticity and sculptural design.
