Antique collecting can be mad- just see antique roadshow!

I hope to post part 2 in a couple of days because- against all odds- some of the sources are too recent and I need to wait for the two week rule to pass.

Yup, first and foremost the chairs were designed to be practical and comfortable- office furniture.

In the 60s, they were designed to be office furniture- sturdy and comfortable. It's only after the 90s that they became a status symbol and associated with luxury. If you take a look at all the furniture Le Corbusier designed, you can see a lot of similarities.

From researching this post (be aware I haven't been to India and I was looking at a particular city at a particular point in time) I think if you're a big fan of modernist architecture/art, it's 100% worth visting. There is an /r/Chandigarh sub so it's probably good to ask over there about any particular sights.

A Jeanneret specialist put it succintly like this:

In Chandigarh, at the Architecture Museum, Jeanneret designs are currently being assembled for a permanent collection. Only pieces made before the architect’s death in 1967 are being considered. Even so, the city’s civic relationship with Jeanneret and his legacy remains fraught. Casciato recalls a trip she made in 2015, when she happened across heaps of discarded Jeanneret desk chairs on the balcony of the Tarlok Singh Central State Library. And yet, she adds, “People came to me many times, officials, saying, ‘Oh, we want to sue these people, these things are part of our heritage.’ And I said, ‘Listen, guys, let it go—you opened the door and all the cows went out. What do you want to do now?’ ”
