Kangaroo 058 Chair

Pierre Jeanneret for Cassina - 1958 / 1959

Cassina continues its study of the furniture of the city of Chandigarh and adds the Kangaroo low armchair to the Hommage à Pierre Jeanneret Collection; a collection that stands out for its essential forms and simple materials, a balance between modern European ideals and traditional Indian spirit. This low chair, made for the city’s General Hospital Hall but also present in many private houses, is characterised by the “Z” shape of its sides, made up of a sequence of three vaguely triangular coplanar elements placed in continuity. The seat and backrest feature typical weaving inside the wooden frame available in the historic teak version along with versions in natural oak and stained black oak. An optional cushion is available for added protection and comfort.
