Chairs featuring A-shaped legs and department acronyms, along with a design similar to that of a Punjab and Haryana judge's chair, have been found at various locations in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. These items, which resemble 'Chandigarh heritage furniture', may have been designed by Pierre Jeanneret, the cousin of renowned architect Le Corbusier, who is known for his work in Chandigarh. The Himachal Pradesh State Industrial Development Corporation (HPSIDC) has acknowledged the need for scrutiny regarding these items, which were reportedly auctioned in 2024. The discovery has sparked a debate on their preservation until their authenticity can be confirmed. Experts, including Deepika Gandhi, a former director at the Le Corbusier Centre, have noted that furniture designed by Jeanneret was considered a status symbol, leading to the creation of replicas. Notably, Shimla was once part of undivided Punjab, where many such items may have been relocated. Local historians and officials are now calling for a thorough examination of these pieces, as many are unaware of their potential historical significance. Rima Kashyap, Director of Art, Language & Culture, stated that they will investigate the matter, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and preserving heritage furniture.
