Berluti Presents Pierre Jeanneret Furniture in Miami

Berluti worked with the Laffanour Galerie Downtown/Paris to present 17 original Pierre Jeanneret furniture pieces upholstered in the brand’s Venezia leather for DesignMiami and Art Basel Miami Beach. The pieces were originally created by the Swiss architect in the ’50s to furnish Chandigarh’s Capitol Complex in India, but Berluti’s retouch of the pieces is one of the first times they’ve been displayed in public.

 

Le Corbusier was commissioned to head the project in 1951. It was then that his cousin Pierre Jeanneret helped supervise the project and design all of the furniture — he created the now-famous line of modern furniture made of glass, steel, and leather. The Berluti x Laffanour Galerie Downtown series features a base-building desk, easy armchair, a pair of cinema chairs, high court chair, kangaroo chair, judge armchair, a pair of library chairs, folding screen, day bed, a pair of committee chairs, public bench and a blue writing chair. The brand was able to fully restore these pieces and Kris Van Assche even developed an entirely new palette of color for the series inspired by his trip to India.

 

The series will be presented in Miami’s design district during DesignMiami and Art Basel from December 2-8. See select images of the exhibited pieces below.

HERMAN MILLER COLLECTION AND POP UP SHOP

Herman Miller Collection

Herman Miller, makers of sleek home furnishings, recently renewed and re-issued much of its original works and they’ve selected a pop up shop in Soho, Manhattan to introduce it to you. Drawing on the moniker and underlying principals have defined the company since its inception in 1948, the Herman Miller Collection immediately enables stylish, comfortable and accessible environments in myriad settings—from the boardroom, to the bistro, to the backyard. The shop marks the first public display and sale of the renewed Herman Miller Collection, a comprehensive portfolio of products that, as is Herman Miller’s mantra, offers the ability to combine environments – home and office, work and play, indoor and outdoor. Taking its cue directly from the 1952 writings of George Nelson, Herman Miller’s then director of design, the portfolio represents “the continuing creation of a permanent collection designed to meet fully the requirements for modern living.” If you happen to be in NYC this summer, stop by the shop at 68 Wooster Street (between Spring and Broome). It’ll b there through July 1st. Otherwise, check out their website here!
