DESCRIPTION

This is a 3D model of the famous Kangaroo armchair. The model has PBR baked textures and was modeled in poligon mesh method. Perfect for interior renders in closeups shots.The Kangaroo chair, created by Pierre Jeanneret, is an iconic piece of modernist design, developed in the 1950s as part of the furniture for Chandigarh, India, an urban project led by his cousin, Le Corbusier. Jeanneret, who was responsible for much of the furniture in this endeavor, aimed to combine functionality, simplicity, and the use of local materials, reflecting both European modernist aesthetics and Indian artisanal traditions.The Kangaroo chair is celebrated for its timeless appearance and the harmony between form and function. The combination of warm wood with the woven cane creates a visual contrast that is both sophisticated and unpretentious. Today, it is considered a mid-century design icon and is reproduced by various brands, such as Cassina, which officially reissued it under the name Hommage à Pierre Jeanneret. Original pieces are highly sought after in the antiques market, often fetching high prices at auctions.The most striking feature is the Z shape of the chair’s sides, created by three flat elements that connect fluidly, giving it a sculptural and elegant appearance.It is a low chair, with the seat close to the ground, reflecting an Asian cultural influence where sitting closer to the floor is common.The lines are clean and geometric, without unnecessary ornamentation, adhering to modernist principles.This chair was originally designed for the General Hospital Hall and private residences in Chandigarh, as part of a series of furniture Jeanneret created to furnish the planned city.The design reflects Jeanneret’s philosophy of using local materials and artisanal techniques, adapting Western modernism to the Indian context.The chair is made of solid wood, typically teak or oak, which provides sturdiness and a natural look.The seat and backrest are crafted from woven cane (or rattan), a lightweight and breathable material, ideal for India’s hot climate.

Geometry
No N-gons
N-gons are polygons with five or more sides which might cause issues in certain processes like rendering or animation. Learn more
No faceted geometry
Faceted geometry uses flat surfaces without smoothing, which can look unrealistic on curves.
Learn more
Manifold geometry
Manifold geometry ensures all surfaces are properly connected, avoiding issues like edges shared by more than two faces.

Textures & material
PBR textures
PBR textures simulate how light interacts with materials, making the model look realistic under different lighting.
Required PBR textures:
- Base Color
- Roughness
- Metalness
- Normal
Learn more
No embed textures
Embedded textures are stored inside the model file, increasing its size and sometimes causing compatibility issues.
Learn more
Square textures
Texture aspect ratio is the width-to-height ratio of a texture. Expected texture aspect ratio: 1:1
Learn more
Power of 2 texture sizes
Textures with dimensions in power of two (e.g. 512x512px, 1024x1024px) are used to optimize performance and memory usage.
Learn more
Assigned materials
Materials are applied to the 3D model to allow visualize a model's surface properties and appearance.
Learn more
UVs & naming
No UV overlaps
UVs overlap when multiple points on the 3D model's surface are mapped to the same point on the UV island causing texture stretching.
Learn more
UV unwrapped model
A UV unwrapped model means its 3D surface is flattened into 2D space, allowing textures to be applied accurately.
