The iconic and ageless LC4 chaise lounge chair was created by Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret in 1928 and exhibited at the Paris Salon d’Automne in 1929. Starting with the analysis of lounge chairs and the proportions inferred by Le Corbusier in the Modulor, the chaise longue embodies the relationship between form and function in the balance between design purity and comfort in the shape of the seat, which is modeled on the natural contours of the body. Le Corbusier held that furniture should be “extensions of our limbs and adapted to human functions.” Designed to echo the natural curves of the human body in repose, the moveable “floating” frame of this iconic chaise adjusts along the base, following your every move from upright sitting to full recline. Known as the “relaxing machine,” the LC4 balances form and function with beautiful precision. See less
