053 CAPITOL COMPLEX ARMCHAIR

Hommage à Pierre JeanneretIncluded in Unesco’s 2016 Cultural Heritage list, the extraordinary architecture of Le Corbusier’s Capitol Complex, designed by Chandigarh in 1951.

The rooms were filled with overstuffed armchairs, all exhibiting the same “V” support structure theme.

The only exposed wooden parts are the rests, connecting crossbars, and the external joints between the arms and the backrest. The armrests’ padding almost completely envelops them, creating the outline of a rounded, geometric shape, that along with the distinct seat and back cushioning, offer an immediate sense of comfort without abandoning their elegance and simplicity.

Cassina’s reissue offers the classic version in teak, and two versions in natural and stained black oak.

Wide selection of fabric and leather available from  the Cassina range of finishes, to suit any environment.
