Pierre Jeanneret daybed associated with the Chandigarh furniture program, preserved here as an archived Studio Balestra object record. The documented platform is 78 inches wide and 31 inches deep, with an 18.5-inch seat height. Linen is recorded as the covering, but its precise date and the construction of the frame require confirmation from this example’s photographs and conservation file. The low, extended format illustrates the way Chandigarh furniture could serve both reclining and informal seating in institutional or residential settings. No painted letters, original building or published model number are transcribed for this particular daybed. Its measurements, upholstery and any marks should not be borrowed from another daybed of similar form. Archived example; any newly available daybed requires its own inventory record and photographs.
Within Jeanneret’s larger furniture program, the daybed turns a simple structural idea into a generous architectural plane. The exact frame width, support geometry and surviving surface distinguish one physical example from another. Upholstery, padding and bolster fabrics are more recent layers unless a period treatment is separately documented. This distinction is especially important when several related daybeds appear in one inventory.
