Pierre Jeanneret & Eulie Chowdury, a "Library Chair" in teak for Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health, Chandigarh (1960s)
This "Library Chair," designed by Pierre Jeanneret and Eulie Chowdury around 1959-60, is made from teak with heavily patinated wooden structures. Originally intended for the Library of the University of Punjab, Chandigarh, the chair features a seat re-woven with cane. It is marked RCCH, indicating its origin from the Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health, Chandigarh (1960s). Dimensions: W48 D46 H75 cm.
Eulie Chowdury is recognized as one of the earliest female architects and furniture designers in Asia. Fluent in French, she facilitated communication between Pierre Jeanneret and the Indian employees in the architecture department. She later became the first female chief architect of Chandigarh, overseeing the second phase of city planning from 1971 to 1976. This wooden chair is an adaptation of a design originally created by Pierre Jeanneret.
這款「圖書館椅」由Pierre Jeanneret和Eulie Chowdury於1959-60年左右設計，採用柚木製成，木質結構有明顯的使用痕跡和風化層。最初是為昌迪加爾內的旁遮大學圖書館設計的，椅子的座位部分重新編織了藤。標記有RCCH，表示它來源於Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health。尺寸：寬48 厘米，深46 厘米，高75 厘米。
Eulie Chowdury被認為是亞洲最早的女性建築師和家具設計師之一。她精通法語，在Pierre Jeanneret與建築部門的印度員工之間擔任翻譯。後來，她成為昌迪加爾的首位女性總建築師，負責1971年至1976年第二階段的城市規劃。這款木椅是改良自Pierre Jeanneret的早期設計。
