Catalog Raisonné du Mobilier is a book that takes you on a design history. At India's independence, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru dreamed of a new city, Chandigarh, which would symbolize the country's freedom and faith in the future. The city, designed by the famous architect Le Corbusier, represented a modern vision with a plan that spanned horizontal areas of housing, green spaces and public buildings. With an architecture that emphasized raw concrete and adaptation to the local climate, Chandigarh became an unprecedented project that blended modern design with practical functionality.

Le Corbusier, together with his cousin Pierre Jeanneret, also created unique furniture for the city's buildings, utilizing local wood resources. Chandigarh stands today as a living monument to India's quest for modernity and innovation, while maintaining a strong connection to the country's cultural and climatic conditions.
