Le Corbusier's early work was related to nature, but as his ideas matured, he developed the Maison-Domino, a basic building prototype for mass production with free-standing pillars and rigid floors. In 1917 he settled in Paris where he issued his book Vers une architecture [Towards a New Architecture], based on his earlier articles in L'Esprit Nouveau.
Chair design by lee corbusier : LC4 Chaise Lounge
Le Corbusier began experimenting with furniture design in 1928 after inviting the architect Charlotte Perriand to join his studio.
His cousin Pierre Jeanneret also collaborated on many of the designs. Before the arrival of Perriand, Le Corbusier relied on ready-made furniture to furnish his projects, such as the simple pieces manufactured by Thonet.
The Petit Corner Sectional
The Petit Corner Sectional expands upon the LC2 Petit Club Chair design concept of 1928 to a full blown sectional sofa. The design maintains its orginal lines and stainless steel tube exostructure while creating an environament suitable for an office or a home.
LC2 Petit Chair
The Le Corbusier group called their LC2 collection the “cushion basket,” and designed it in 1928 as a modernist response to the traditional club chair. The Petit Club Chair was compactly scaled for luxury cruise ships of the time, such as the Normandie.
The idea was to offer all the comfort of a padded surface while applying the elegant minimalism and industrial rationale of the International Style.
Following the example of the LC1 Sling Chair, the steel structure is externalized, and the result is an armchair that holds the body in a simple tubular structure that still looks stunning today. Thick, resilient pillows rest on top of the frame and provide the kind of sumptuousness rarely found even in the finest overstuffed conventional chairs.
