Le Corbusier Furniture combine a passion for classical Greek architecture and an attraction to the modern machine.

Le Corbusier published his ideas in a book entitled, Vers une Architecture, in which he refers to the house as a "machine for living," an industrial product that should include functional furniture or "equipment de l'habitation."
