Le Corbusier Furniture – LC2, LC3 armchairs and LC4 chaise longue

Le Corbusier Furniture – LC armchairs, lounge chairs and modernist design
A major 20th-century architect, urban planner, and designer, Le Corbusier developed several models with Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand that have become icons of international modernist furniture. The LC armchairs, lounge chairs, tubular steel seating, and furniture produced from the 1950s onwards are now among the most recognized 20th-century design creations.

The LC1, LC2, LC3, and LC4 models are distinguished by their geometric lines, exposed metal structures, and functional approach to comfort. Leather armchairs, modernist lounge chairs, benches, and daybeds combine chrome steel, full-grain leather, and architectural proportions in an aesthetic that has become emblematic of modernist furniture.

Developed in the late 1920s and then widely distributed during the 1950s and 1960s, these creations enjoy lasting international success. Le Corbusier armchairs naturally find their place in contemporary interiors, architects’ offices, professional spaces, or residential projects.

Furniture designed by Le Corbusier favors a clear reading of volumes and great formal sobriety. The tubular steel structures contrast with the generous volumes of the cushions, contributing to an industrial and architectural aesthetic that still largely influences contemporary furniture.

Le Corbusier’s work dialogues with that of other major figures of modernism such as Charlotte Perriand, Pierre Jeanneret, Mies van der Rohe, or Florence Knoll, who are also represented in our selection of 20th-century design furniture.
