It retains the balance, structure and minimalist functionalism characteristic of Pierre Jeanneret's designs, yet its asymmetrical composition gives it a distinct character when compared with the more familiar 6-hole rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe carpenters and workshops tasked with producing thousands of pieces for Chandigarh's institutional buildings had little reason to introduce embellishment or unnecessary detailing. Some seventy years later, the purity of these objects lies precisely in their honesty and simplicity. Their construction is direct, their function evident, and their character shaped as much by use as by design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt General Goods, we prefer to restore pieces softly, preserving the beauty of time, patina and use. This means little or no polishing, and no attempt to fill every nook, cranny or imperfection.
