Finish: Cherry
The Architect’s Favorite Chair

A midcentury original, reimagined for now. Our version stays true to the legacy: solid wood, cane seat, and that unmistakable V-leg silhouette.

• Solid oak or cherry wood frame
• Handwoven cane seat and backrest
• Floating seat design with V-shaped legs
• Originally created for Chandigarh’s Secretariat
• Strong, grounded, timeless
Materials

Solid Oak or Cherry Wood
The frame is constructed from either solid oak or cherry, depending on your selection. Both are chosen for their durability, grain character, and historical accuracy to the original design.

Woven Cane
The seat and back feature handwoven Viennese cane, tensioned for support and breathability. The lightness of the material visually offsets the bold wood geometry.
Design

Floating Seat
The caned seat appears suspended within the frame, a structural illusion that gives the design its quiet sophistication.

V-Leg Construction
The sharply angled, inverted V-shaped supports are not just iconic—they’re also structurally resilient and geometrically balanced.

Back Angle and Width
Designed originally for long hours of work, the angled backrest provides a surprising level of comfort for an all-wood chair.

Questions About The Jeanneret Chair

How long until I receive my order?

The Jeanneret Chair arrives approximately 3-4 Weeks from the day of order.

Our products take longer to arrive than most others on the internet. But there's a good reason why. Most of our pieces are made to order and ship directly from the source. We don’t keep warehouses or carry excess inventory. This is how we cut costs and pass thousands in savings back to you. But it also means you have to wait a bit longer.
What is your return policy

The Jeanneret Chair can be returned after receiving the order if the product is damaged or unusable.

Our products are made to order. So we cannot offer returns for changes in preference. But we always do what we can to make it right.

To be returned, products need to be completely unused and still in their original packaging.
How can I track my order?

The Jeanneret Chair ships within 7 Days of order placement.

Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email with tracking details, allowing you to monitor its progress. Simply use the provided tracking information on our delivery partner’s website to stay updated on your shipment.

Judge us by our looks

Our packaging is safe, simple, and proudly no frills. We don't think it makes sense to pay for things you throw away immediately.

That's why the Jeanneret Chair ships in the same protective packaging the manufacturer uses, covered in functional stickers and foreign stamps showing the journey it's been on.

We don't hide it and wear it as a badge of honor for the places our products have been and the people who made them.
