A tribute to Pierre Jeanneret, the Kangaroo chair was created for the reception room at the General Hospital in the city of Chandigarh. It is distinguished by essential shapes and simple materials, a balance between modern European ideals and a traditional Indian spirit. This low seat is characterised by the "Z" shape at its sides. The latter are composed of a sequence of three coplanar, vaguely triangular, elements placed in continuity. The seat and backrest showcases traditional caning within a solid wood frame. In addition to the traditional teak version, The Cassina Research and Development Centre produces two variants of the Kangaroo chair, in natural oak and black-tinted oak, made in the company's traditional carpentry workshop. An optional cushion is available to provide better protection and comfort.
