The Chandigarh Chair The chair made for the new capital of Punjab, Chandigarh - A design office was set up to handle a large scale furniture program called: “LOW COST FURNITURE”. Several Indian collaborators such as Eulie Chowdury, Jeet Malhotra, and A.R. Prabawalkar participated actively in this program overseen by Pierre Jeanneret. Le Corbusier did not participate in this program, he limited his intervention to furnishing and decorating his own buildings. The program was supposed to cater to a whole new city where buildings were sprouting up like mushrooms and required furnishing at an incredibly fast pace! Numerous ranges of robust, functional furniture produced exclusively with local materials, local talent and labor, emerged within a few years, tailored to specific uses and places. Over a period of fifteen years or more, when the city was growing, the blueprints of the execution drawings based on the original sketches of Pierre Jeanneret were faithfully followed by the carpenters in charge of manufacturing and everything was supervised by the design office. Several workshops worked round the clock to complete this huge task, but the Punjab workshops could not handle everything, so workshops in New Delhi were also called in as can be seen by the numerous manufacturer plaques found on a few furniture units.
