This Pierre Jeanneret & Eulie Chowdhury Library Chair, crafted from teak with a handwoven cane seat, is a perfect example of mid-century modern design and exceptional craftsmanship. Designed for the brutalist city of Chandigarh, India, in the 1950s, this chair blends the architectural vision of Jeanneret with the artistic sensibilities of Eulie Chowdhury, creating a unique, functional, and timeless piece.

The solid teak frame offers a warm, durable foundation, while the finely woven cane seat adds both texture and breathability, ensuring comfort and elegance. The chair’s minimalist design, with its clean lines and open, airy structure, makes it a versatile addition to any space—whether used in a library, study, or as a standalone piece in a modern interior.

The sturdy frame and natural materials reflect the principles of functionality and beauty, hallmarks of both Jeanneret and Chowdhury’s work. The chair's simplicity and elegance are complemented by the rich patina of the teak, which has developed over time, enhancing its authenticity and connection to the Chandigarh project.

This Pierre Jeanneret & Eulie Chowdhury Library Chair is not just a piece of furniture, but a piece of architectural history. Its blend of superior craftsmanship, cultural significance, and timeless design makes it an ideal collector’s item or a striking addition to any home or design-forward space.

As with all of Jeanneret pieces, this piece was restored and caned in London to museum standards and is presented in very good vintage condition. The piece is heavily patinated, we only look for patinated pieces, that show their authenticity and true beauty. If this is not your taste, you probably have not read this line and this piece is not for you. If you are looking for a vintage example of this chair, it does not get much better than this.
