Handmade masterpieces

Just like the original 1950's chairs, each Pierre Jeanneret style chair is carefully crafted by the world's finest artisans using responsibly sourced solid teak and hand-woven rattan. Our craftsmen follow traditional methods, combining precision and care in every detail. Every chair is inspected through a 74-point quality check to ensure it meets our highest standards. Discover how an Object Embassy rattan chair is crafted to perfection.

The story of Chandigarh

Our chairs are inspired on the Chandigarh or Capitol Complex collection, designed by the Chandigarh Collective: A group of designers, architects, and craftspeople under leadership of Pierre Jeanneret. In the early 1950s, this collective was tasked to design furniture for the new city of Chandigarh, India. How these chairs came to life is a fascinating story and if you're interested in purchasing a chair, it is well worth knowing a thing or two about it.
