Description

The PJ-R-14-A Low Cupboard by Pierre Jeanneret represents the designer’s enduring vision for Chandigarh’s civic architecture and furniture program. Crafted in 1958 from solid teak with brass hardware, this piece embodies Jeanneret’s dedication to durable construction and understated modernism.
