056 Capitol Complex Table
The inclusion of the UNESCO World
Heritage List in 2016 has aroused great interest in Le Corbusier’s Capitol
Complex, an extraordinary architectural work created in Chandigarh in 1951 to
celebrate the independence of a nation open to modernity. Among the furniture
used in the Legislative Assembly building is this large conference table.
Almost as if to evoke the solemn functions of the place, this model has a base
made up of two important and graphic solid wood elements with a characteristic
“corns entrecroisées” shape. In addition to the historic version with teak top
and structure, the Cassina re-edition offers two variants in natural and black
stained oak and the option of a glass top in different sizes.
