Lot Essay

Only a small number of these tables was produced. In Chandigarh, one could be found in the library of the Assembly Hall, another was in Pierre Jeanneret's home, and a few others have been found in the homes of friends and employees of Pierre Jeanneret. Some examples made in different wood have also been discovered in France, one in Le Corbusier's apartment on the rue Nungesser-et-Coli in Paris and another in the home of Le Corbusier's official photographer Lucien Hervé.
