Anand Complex in Sector 17 stands as a bold testament to the vision of Harbinder Singh Chopra (1926–1994) — an unsung pioneer of Brutalist architecture in Punjab.

In its continued quest to uncover and celebrate the city’s overlooked architectural treasures and the minds behind them, Chandigarh Architecture Lab is preparing to publish a special feature on Harbinder Singh Chopra, in collaboration with Ar. Sarabjit Bahga.

If you hold stories, photographs, drawings, or any valuable insights related to his life and work, we warmly invite you to contribute. Help us piece together the legacy of a visionary.

Low Stool, with its iconic inverted V-shaped legs, is a masterpiece of thoughtful design and intricate detailing. Originally crafted for government residences, it was intended for versatile use in a variety of settings. Its seat design features two members with a graceful downward curve, while the other two remain straight, creating a dynamic interplay of geometry. Adding to its uniqueness, the stool’s two sets of legs are connected
by a circular member—a feature that sets it apart as the only piece in the Chandigarh collection to incorporate such a detail.

Hand-woven cane, a hallmark of Chandigarh furniture, graces the seat, showcasing the same meticulous craftsmanship and traditional
techniques found in the collection’s other iconic pieces. Every aspect of this stool has been recreated with unwavering precision, honouring its legacy while ensuring its timeless appeal.

Material: Indian rosewood and rattan
Finish: Tung oil (food grade safe oil)
Dimensions: L x B x H | 329mm x 320mm x 420mm

Available for sale. Worldwide shipping

‘Ghichpich’ a recent feature film directed by Ankur Singla captures the city in all its glory.
Chandigarh just doesn’t serve as a backdrop rather sets the mood and adds into the emotions being told through the stories . It is very much a living and breathing character in the movie rather than a silent witness to all the happenings.
We showed some hidden gems of the city to and were elated to find them in the movie.
Set in 2001 Chandigarh, Ghicpich is a coming of age movie showcasing the bonds of father-son. The film feels like a breath of fresh air where characters don’t seem choreographed. It is a film that would stay with you long after you have left the cinema halls.
Watch it for all its goodness and if you are from Chandigarh, watch it because no one has captured the city as beautifully as Ankur Singla and his team.

core memories from the walk with & . Circa 2023
Ibrahim being a professional architecture photographer was kind enough to teach us nuances of photography. From correcting our frames to making us understand the light angles, it was indeed a shot master class.
This walk would always be a cherished one.

The ‘roll change’ moments are the one which have stuck with us. Really looking forward to see you guys again.

P.S. - it was so nice of them to write a google review for us. We request all our past clients to please write a google review for us. It really helps us in getting right clients.

We will be greatly honoured to have you at the exhibition.

Pierre Jeanneret’s contribution to Chandigarh is more than mere implementation of designs. He was involved in various aspects of the city whether it was buildings or furniture.

He made Chandigarh his home rather than a project.

*Seen here is the iconic chair designed by Pierre Jeanneret & team (reproduced by CAL) with Gandhi Bhawan serving as a backdrop (building designed by Jeanneret)
