Poliform Bed with Lift-Up Storage

Included in Unesco’s 2016 Cultural Heritage list, the extraordinary architecture of Le Corbusier’s Capitol Complex, designed by Chandigarh in 1951, has received accolades for its celebration of an independent nation open to modernity.

Natural materials like wood and marble blend in a suggestive design, marked by calibrated slants. Familiar shapes are proposed once more with a strongly contemporary connotation.

Presented at the 9th Triennale of Milan in 1951 – where it won the gold medal – this armchair is an icon of modernity.
