Pierre Jeanneret was a Swiss architect, painter and designer, greatly influenced by Charles-Édouard Jeanneret (Le Corbusier), his cousin and mentor. He joined the UAM (Union of Modern Artists) in 1930 and worked with Charlotte Perriand and Jean Prouvé in the Le Corbusier-Pierre Jeanneret studio in Paris. In the 1950’s, he created alongside with his cousin most of Chandigarh’s (India) large civic architecture and design projects. As one of the founding fathers of modernism, Jeanneret imagined his furniture as an extension of his architectural principles with an emphasis on function. It gives a rationalistic conception of his design, coupled with a purity of lines and a geometrical sense of space. The timeless nature of Jeanneret’s furniture has led to its incredible market renaissance in recent years.
