Pierre Jeanneret floor lamp recorded in Studio Balestra’s sold archive. Its dimensions are 33 inches wide, 18 inches deep and 69 inches high, giving it the scale of a substantial free-standing interior light. The recorded service history includes work on its wiring and sockets; this later electrical intervention should be distinguished from the vintage structure in any object documentation. The current record does not specify a Chandigarh department, painted inscription, wood or metal composition, shade history or original electrical fittings, so those details should be determined from this lamp’s photographs and restoration paperwork. It should not be conflated with Jeanneret’s seating or furniture models simply because it shares the designer. Sold example; any other lamp requires separate measurements and condition reporting.
Lighting associated with Jeanneret’s interiors calls for careful separation of historic form and later functional changes. Electrical components may be replaced for use long after the original design. The silhouette, proportions, materials and any original finishes should be assessed from the lamp itself, while wiring and sockets are documented as interventions. A precise institutional association would require object-specific evidence.
