The Chandigarh collection

The Chandigarh Collection finds its roots in India of the 1950's, where Pierre Jeanneret and the Chandigarh Collective designed furniture for the newly built city of Chandigarh. Their modernist vision resulted in timeless pieces that have become icons of design history.

Our re-editions honour this legacy. Each object is handmade with tremendous respect for the original 1950's designs, while updated to today’s standards. Crafted by skilled woodworkers and master weavers, every piece is shaped with patience and finished with remarkable precision and detail.

Our collection

Architects quality

Responsibly sourced teak

The chairs are crafted from solid, durable teak, the same wood prescribed in the 1950's designs. Naturally resistant to moisture, heat, and insects, teak ensures lasting strength and character for decades.

Original rattan weaving

A fundamental element of any quality Pierre Jeanneret–inspired chair is the original square weave. Each strand of rattan is carefully hand-woven into the frame, creating a seat that is both authentic and enduring.

Each single chair is a piece of craftsmanship, meticulously made by highly skilled woodworkers and experienced master weavers.

Unique numbering

In the 1950's in Chandigarh, every chair carried an individual identification number, painted on the back to keep track of inventory.

Our chairs continue this tradition, each marked with a unique number. Not in paint, but with state-of-the-art deep laser engraving. This allows every chair to be traced from the source of the wood to its place in your home.

It also serves as a mark of authenticity, giving you the certainty that your chair is a genuine Object Embassy piece.

Upholstery

Beyond teak and rattan, Object Embassy also offers an upholstered collection. Each piece is crafted with the same attention to detail: durable frames, refined proportions, and upholstery finished by skilled artisans.

Our upholstered Chandigarh chairs and Pierre Jeanneret style furniture are available in fabrics and leathers carefully chosen for their strength, comfort, and refined character. Materials are responsibly sourced and selected not only for durability, but also for their natural ability to age with beauty over time.

Every detail, from the cut and stitching of the fabric to the precision of the fit, reflects the same level of craftsmanship that defines all Object Embassy designs. The result is a collection of designer upholstered chairs that combine timeless design with long-lasting quality.
