Pierre Jeanneret is the cousin and right-hand man of world-renowned architect Le Corbusier.
An event selling more than 40 pieces of Jeanneret furniture, which has become increasingly valuable in the recent boom, will be held at the COMPLEXBOOST gallery in Nakameguro from today, Friday, May 21, to Sunday, May 30.
The pieces collected by Tatsumasa Onuki, an incomparable vintage lover and designer of "Westoveralls," will include rare furniture used in the Chandigarh Urban Development Project and other items only available at Onuki's shop. The exhibition will be held at the Chandigarh Museum of Art, Chandigarh.
These will be exhibited and sold prior to the gallery "SANTASSÉ" in Tsukuba, Ibaraki, which is scheduled to open this June.
This is a rare opportunity to see a piece of history through the work of a select few. We hope you will take this opportunity to enjoy the world of Jeanneret.
