Description
Pierre Jeanneret Dining Table & Ten Chairs with Certificate by Jacques Dworczak 1954
Magnificent mid-century modern furniture design by Pierre Jeanneret, specifically the Model: PJ020112 Teak Rectangular Dining Table, also known as the "Committee Table," and a set of ten Model: PJ010803 Teak Armchairs, referred to as the ‘Committee Chair' hailing from Chandigarh, India, around the mid-20th century, during a period when Jeanneret collaborated closely with his cousin, the renowned architect Le Corbusier, on the comprehensive urban planning and architectural design of the city.
The Committee Table, crafted circa 1963-64, is a testament to skilled craftsmanship and design ingenuity, made from solid teak and teak veneer. Its rectangular top, constructed from thick veneer, is supported by a unique criss-crossed framework that slots into the base, secured firmly with nuts and bolts. The table stands on crossed legs that feature the signature ‘V’ motif—a design element frequently echoed in Le Corbusier's architectural and furniture designs, symbolizing strength and stability. This motif not only adds a decorative element but also reinforces the structural integrity of the table. The base is connected by two full-length stretchers, ensuring robust support. Original markings on the table edge and legs—K.U.K./LIB/T:12—attest to its historical and cultural significance, marking its original use and location.
Accompanying the table is a set of ten Committee Chairs, produced around 1953-54, showcasing a distinctive design with tall ‘Compass’ style legs that form an inverted ‘V’ shape. This design supports the armrests and features stuff-over "Roll" arm covers, marrying functionality with elegance. The chairs bear original markings under the back rail, indicating their provenance and adding to their authenticity.
This furniture set has undergone professional restoration, adhering to the highest standards to preserve its historical value and aesthetic appeal. Each piece comes with a comprehensive set of pre-restoration images and a certificate of authenticity, ensuring its legitimacy and value. The official certification by Jacques Dworczak adds an additional layer of provenance, making this set a coveted collectible.
The provenance of these pieces are deeply rooted in Chandigarh's history, with the table originating from the Assembly in Sector 1, and the chairs from the High Court, administrative buildings in Sector 1, and Panjab University in Sector 14. This connection to significant architectural landmarks in Chandigarh underscores the cultural and historical importance of the set, making it a remarkable addition to any collection.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
