Found this channel recently. Super awesome. !! Keep going guys!!❤
Oh, thank's a lot! We're so glad you enjoy our channel!
I'd had no idea of this episode in furniture design history with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret. Thank you so much for this!
Thank's for wacthing! Were so glad you found it interesting!
RM chose them like brad pitt did with jean prouvé, they’re fashionable now and it’s quite absurd because those were built for a civic house, for the community, thousands of pieces
Yeah, totally agree with you. Objects made to be cheap and functional are often sold for astronomical amount of money nowadays. Conspicuous consumption in a nutshell...
I am from Chandigarh and never knew this..Thanks 😊
Fantastic!
Thank you.
Thankuuu... for nice informative video..
Love from india🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 💜
Thank you! We really appreciate it.
Rm loves art a lot 💜🥰💜🥰
Yeah, he loves modern design!
India in general does not have the same art and design culture as the west. Some of it comes from the fact that India today is generally a poor country and most people look for functional, affordable things, and aesthetics is a luxury only for the rich. Things are used until they're old and broken, and then discarded, not much thought is given to the history or significance of the object. And some of it comes from the fact that the type of art and culture valued most in India tends to be more closely related to religion/tradition. Of course this was not always the case in history, India has had several golden ages in arts and culture, it is rather a contemporary phenomenon. This has given rise to an upper class that increasingly looks westward for their aesthetic sensibilities, and a general population that does not have the ability to really care about aesthetics too much. And this results in beautiful, valuable objects such as the Pierre Jeanneret furniture being thrown away after being over-used. India is not yet at a place where people recognise the value and beauty in old objects and their history. A similar thing happened in post-war Europe in mid-19th century to a lesser extent. It takes a certain amount of wealth and stability to be able to engage with abstract concepts like aesthetics, art and design. On a deeper level there are also implications regarding materialism, consumerism and capitalism in the west that are not quite as strong in India, the philosophical roots of the society that come from Hinduism and Buddhism particularly are quite opposed to these ideas - just some thoughts from an Indian living in Sweden that also loves Scandinavian design.
Thanks a lot for your input and thoughtful ideas. Totally agree with you. Aesthetics is obviously a luxury. The modernist movement strived to create cheap and affordable furniture for the broad masses. Sadly they soon ended up in the homes of wealthy upper class homes. The political part of modernism is long gone.
Thank you for sharing ;-)
One man's trash is another man"s treasure. Be careful what you throw out. It could be worth something.
Yeah, and sometimes things has to be trashed to make the few remaining pieces expensive ;)
Would definitely recommend listening to the 99% Invisible podcast on this
love the video and content but did you have to use that music?
Hello Sir I have Orignal condition teak wood pierre jeanneret chandighar 2 easy Chair for seal
I have 2 chairs of MLA Hostel Chandigarh's with me.
Just found your Channel it’s so dope
Thanks a lot! We're so glad you like it!
They call it homage because nobody owns the rights for these chairs and the name of Jeanneret I think..
cassina bought the rights for le corbusier, jeanneret, perriand, the three of them, don’t know why they call it ‘hommage’, probably they can’t sell them because they don’t have the original drawings who knows
They probable made some own adjustments when starting their production. But also the original furniture made in India differ quite a bit, the different craftsmen made their own adjustments.
Great historical summary. I learned a lot. Should also point out that these furniture prices, particularly the upholstered version of Cassina Capital Complex chair, are very comfortable! Can’t say that about every piece of modern furniture. Consider yourself fortunate if you own one of these!
I'm so angry they throw this art away and also happy about the money they've lost
I m from India and and obviously not happy about the money our country lost...but obviously it's mistake of those people who threw it and state government who was careless about this thing so they paid for their deed
