Written by Thierry Lamoine, who has spent decades collecting and studying mid-century design. Since opening Galerie One in Kamakura, he had observed how little had been written in Japan about Pierre Jeanneret, in comparison with his contemporaries Le Corbusier, Jean Prouvé, and Charlotte Perriand. Drawing on years of research and personal experience, he undertook to compile this book, offering Japanese readers a deeper understanding of Jeanneret's furniture, and of the man himself, a figure he has followed closely for many years.

Pierre Jeanneret was 54 when he arrived in India in 1951, reportedly speaking little English, to help design and build the city of Chandigarh alongside his cousin, Le Corbusier. It is this that Thierry respects most: that Pierre, unlike his cousin, worked without acclaim or fanfare, and still left behind a body of work that speaks for itself. This book retraces that particular chapter of his life through the furniture he left behind.
