Collection Story
Origin
Hommage à Pierre Jeanneret is Cassina's tribute to Pierre Jeanneret, named for the furniture of the Capitol Complex in Chandigarh, India. The Capitol Complex Chair page dates the production to 2019, and the sheet speaks of a reissue. Cassina links the cane and the teak to the character of the place where the furniture was used.

The Capitol Complex Chair pairs a solid oak or Burma teak structure with woven Viennese cane and V-shaped side supports.
