Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret Rare “Committee” table, model no. LC/PJ-TAT-14-A, from the Assembly, Chandigarh circa 1963-1964 Teak, teak-veneered wood. 29 x 96 x 47 7/8 in. (73.7 x 243.8 x 121.6 cm)
Provenance The Assembly, Chandigarh, India Galerie Patrick Seguin, Paris Literature Eric Touchaleaume and Gerald Moreau, Le Corbusier Pierre Jeanneret The Indian Adventure, Design-Art-Architeture, Paris, 2010, pp. 246-47, 582 for images and technical drawings Catalogue Essay The present lot, a rare “Committee” table, was employed in the Assembly in Chandigarh, the Indian city for which Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret designed and constructed a number of public and civic buildings. The clever execution of the base design, in which the upper section rests within the framework of the lower section, is reminiscent of ancient furniture forms such as the cross-leg table and X-frame stool. Symbolically, the base form is an instance of the intersecting horns motif that Le Corbusier employed throughout his career. Several versions of the design were produced, with variations in size and the manner in which the base armature connects to the tabletop. Read More
