Perfect for interior renders in closeups shots.The Kangaroo chair, created by Pierre Jeanneret, is an iconic piece of modernist design, developed in the 1950s as part of the furniture for Chandigarh, India, an urban project led by his cousin, Le Corbusier. Jeanneret, who was responsible for much of the furniture in this endeavor, aimed to combine functionality, simplicity, and the use of local materials, reflecting both European modernist aesthetics and Indian artisanal traditions.The Kangaroo chair is celebrated for its timeless appearance and the harmony between form and function. The combination of warm wood with the woven cane creates a visual contrast that is both sophisticated and unpretentious.

Original pieces are highly sought after in the antiques market, often fetching high prices at auctions.The most striking feature is the Z shape of the chair’s sides, created by three flat elements that connect fluidly, giving it a sculptural and elegant appearance.It is a low chair, with the seat close to the ground, reflecting an Asian cultural influence where sitting closer to the floor is common.The lines are clean and geometric, without unnecessary ornamentation, adhering to modernist principles.This chair was originally designed for the General Hospital Hall and private residences in Chandigarh, as part of a series of furniture Jeanneret created to furnish the planned city.The design reflects Jeanneret’s philosophy of using local materials and artisanal techniques, adapting Western modernism to the Indian context.The chair is made of solid wood, typically teak or oak, which provides sturdiness and a natural look.The seat and backrest are crafted from woven cane (or rattan), a lightweight and breathable material, ideal for India’s hot climate.
