Along with his cousin Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand, Pierre Jeanneret was the unheralded third member of the design troika that produced the tubular steel iconic chairs of the 1920s.
His most important design on his own is
the marvelously understated, ingeniously constructed "Scissor" chair, which was first produced in France in the late 1940s before being manufactured by Knoll from 1948-1966.
