LE CORBUSIER, BUREAU DES MINISTRES

Le Corbusier's designs in Chandigarh captivate both experts and novices alike. Within his extensive collection, stumbling upon a piece like the Bureau or Table des Ministres is exceptionally rare, as very few of his creations boast such monumental proportions.

Crafted exclusively for the ministerial palace in the city, this particular piece is part of a highly limited edition. Its grand scale is a deliberate response to the significant function it serves, demanding a design of imposing stature and essentialist simplicity.

The Bureau des Ministres features a two-part removable top, creating an open corner supported by three legs. Beneath, a central unit with two compartments further enhances its functionality. Le Corbusier's ability to harmonize these elements stands as a testament to his clear vision and practical understanding evident in his work.
