Pierre Jeanneret (1896-1967) is a Swiss architect and designer, cousin and close collaborator of Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, known as "Le Corbusier" with which he started working in 1922. Together they publish in 1926 a manifesto entitled "Five Points to a New Architecture "which has served as a guideline for their architectural aesthetics. The construction following this manifesto has been the Villa Savoye (1928-1931). It is an implementation of their ideology. In 1929, at the "Salon d'Automne" in Paris, he unveils a set of modern furniture including tubular steel chairs, stools and a set of modular steel shelves designed in collaboration with Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand. In the early 1950s Le Corbusier and Jeanneret started a project in Chandigarh, India, designing and producing low cost buildings for the community. After Le Corbusier abandonned the project, Pierre Jeanneret became the chief architect and designer of the urban development. He stayed 15 years in India to achieve the Chandigarh project which has now became a reference in modern architecture.
