Designed by Pierre Jeanneret, this storage cabinet retains its original institutional stencil, PGI-185, painted on one side panel. PGI refers to the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh.Crafted entirely in solid teak, the cabinet combines two shallow drawers across the top, two hinged doors opening to a shelved interior on the left, and a column of five drawers on the right, each with a circular cutout pull. Four compass legs, two at each end, splay outward in the A-frame formation characteristic of the Chandigarh program.The back is closed with vertical boards, left rough-sawn and unfinished.Decades of institutional life have given the teak a deep, layered patina. Offered as found. Lightly cleaned and unrestored.
