teak, hide
A striking example of Pierre Jeanneret's iconic mid-century modernist design, this piece marries the warm, organic grain of teak with the supple texture of natural hide. Rooted in the functionalist aesthetic Jeanneret developed during his years in Chandigarh, India, the work reflects his commitment to honest materials and human-scaled craftsmanship. The interplay between the structured wood and the tactile softness of the hide speaks to a timeless balance between utility and sensory elegance.
