two wooden Vs we find in certain pieces of furniture at Chandigarh. I was by
using such know-how that he developed, in Chandigarh, several complete lines
of furniture and fixed installations designed to equip the different public and
private buildings: armchairs, tables, benches, seats, desks. Very small and sober
lines, solidly constructed on rudimentary principles, which were based on the
skills of local craftsmen and regional materials. So the pieces were for most
part made with solid teak, either left natural or stained (teak being well known
for its resistance to humidity and insects), and hallmarked mainly by their X-,
U-, and V-like forms. And the seats were often caned or fitted with laths, when
they were not covered with local leather dyed in colours bright and dark alike.
This also gave Jeanneret an opportunity to train young Indian assistants in his
manufacturing techniques, and they would subsequently assume responsibility
for spreading his teaching and instruction in India.
