AWMS Chowdhury Scarf + Scarf Woggle in Ebony

$ 125.00

When French / Swiss architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret took on the mammoth city planning project, Corbu oversaw the grand design and blueprints while his cousin Pierre stayed and lived in the city concentrating on the interiors and details. The furniture necessary for the new city had to be cheap, functional, hard wearing and rely on local materials and ingenuity. The resulting creations utilised the abundance of available woods and the traditional craft of rattan caning resulting in various versions of the now iconic and extremely collectable Chandigarh chair, instantly recognisable from its swept back angular shape and caned seat.

Contemporary sources place its development and design firmly in the hands of the only woman on the Chandigarh design team, Eulie Chowdhury, and news articles from the 1960s praise her input and innovation. But when western collectors started importing the chairs into Europe and America in the 1980s, her name was erased from the chairs' design history in favour of the more famous and bankable Jeanneret.

The AWMS Chowdhury Scarf takes its form and pattern from the unique caning, the colourways reflecting the local woods used in its construction and places her name back into the historical design classic that she had such a large hand in creating.

Casual Shirting

Summer is a season best met in rolled sleeves and an open collar. Shirts that catch the breeze and suggest you’ve nowhere urgent to be.
