The Outstanding Le Corbusier LC3 Sofa : Modern Furniture Design Made By The Exeptional Designer Le Corbusier

Though various individuals recognize him today as a highest pioneer in modern architecture, the Swiss-born French architect Le Corbusier also made modern furniture. In 1928, Le Corbusier (whose true name is Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris) worked with French interior designer Charlotte Perriand, making with numerous tubular steel furniture that were afterwards featured at the historic Salon d’ Automne art display in Paris in 1929. Together with these furniture designs was the Le Corbusier LC3 Sofa.

Le Corbusier once said that sofas are “bourgeois”, which is amazing regarding that his LC3 Sofa is one of his most popular works. One of several sofa styles he completed in his career, the Le Corbusier LC3 Sofa is a two-seater sofa composed of an outside steel frame and unfastened cushions as its seat, back, and arm rests. Different from those seen in conventional sofa works, the LC3 Sofa’s tubular steel frame is on the exterior and draw round the shape of the couch. The border is also coverd with a level of chrome, matte black enamel, or silky finish to make it show up . The cushions, on the other hand, are packed with polyurethane, polyester or original down feathers and covered with rich black leather or fabric.

The Le Corbusier LC3 Sofa is a set of Le Corbusier’s LC3 furniture group, which also consist of an armchair and “meridienne” chair design. In addition, a three-seater type of the LC3 Sofa has also been made and recently been included in the LC3 collection. This three-sitter version is based partly on Le Corbusier’s “Grand Comfort” armchair style as well as from many sketches by Perriand.

The Le Corbusier LC3 Sofa was primarily put into production in the 1930s up to 1959, when the whole Le Corbusier furniture group were re-introduced with various minor developments. Then in 1964, the designer furniture company Cassina S.p.A acquired the privileges from Le Corbusier himself to produce his works. Today Cassina remains as the highest reproducer of the LC3 Sofa and the rest of Le Corbusier furniture works, though reproductions from other manufacturers are also generally available.
