Doshi Levien: Chandigarh

The duo's latest collaboration for Italian furniture maker Moroso is an homage to Le Corbusier's buildings in the Indian city.

The London based office of Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien is working on a new seating collection for Moroso, to be presented at the Salone del Mobile 2012. The cream colored sofas are inspired and named after Chandigarh, the first planned city in India, in which Le Corbusier famously designed some of his most striking buildings.

"We see Chandigarh sofa as the coming together of modern, sensual, graphic and eccentric qualities," say Doshi Levien.

According to Moroso, "the principles of modernism, seemingly incongruous with the city of Chandigarh and yet deeply rooted in it's identity, inspired Nipa and Jonathan to create a quintessentially "modern" seating collection with an up to date approach."

"The Chandigarh sofa is soft and comfortable, yet compact, visually sharp and light. The seat is moulded foam, upholstered in leather or canvas with a print design by Doshi Levien that pays homage to the city of Chandigarh."
