Pierre Jeanneret (1896–1967) was a Swiss architect and designer known for his collaboration with his cousin Le Corbusier. A key figure in modernism, he played an instrumental role in designing Chandigarh, India’s first planned city, where he oversaw numerous public buildings and created innovative, locally adapted furniture. His work combined modernist principles with regional materials and craftsmanship. While often overshadowed by Le Corbusier, Jeanneret’s contributions to urbanism and design were pivotal. His furniture, particularly the Chandigarh chairs, has since gained widespread recognition for its refined blend of functionality and artistry.
