Only designing a “new city the size of a capital.” The colossal project was spearheaded by Le Corbusier and his cousin, Pierre Jeanneret, who oversaw the construction of many of the administrative buildings that his more famous cousin designed. He was also esponsible for a significant amount of designing for the Panjab University, including the Gandhi Bhawan (pictured here) and the University Library, and worked with a number of Indian architects, including S.D. Sharma.

Pierre was also a furniture designer, and it is these more intimate and equally iconic design pieces of both Jeanneret and Le Corbusier’s repertoire which are to feature heavily at Laffanour Galerie Downtown’s installation at Design Miami this year. Jeanneret made a name for himself co-designing with his cousin the “Easy Chair (Fauteuil Grand Confort)” in 1928, the Scissor Chair he supplied to Knoll USA and his unforgettable rocking chair. These pieces, some of which Jeanneret first designed in the 1930s, still remain relevant today in both offices and homes.
