In the early 1950s Pierre Jeanneret began a new project at Chandigarh, in India, at the
invitation of his cousin Le Corbusier, then at work on a groundbreaking architectural program
there. When Le Corbusier opted out halfway through, Jeanneret became the undertaking's
chief architect and urban designer. At the same time he created a furniture style to be used for
the government offices and a number of private homes.
