About...
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."

In this spirit, Le Corbusier co-designed a system of furniture with his cousin Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand.
The tubular steel furniture — like the famous chaise and Grand Confort chair — projected a new rationalist aesthetic that came to epitomize the International Style.

About...
Few would protest that Le Corbusier, Charles Edouard Jenneret, is one of the most influential architects of the 20th century.
He articulated provocative ideas, created revolutionary designs and demonstrated a strong sense of purpose.
Le Corbusier, like his father, began by learning the art of metal engraving. However, he was encouraged by a teacher to take up architecture and built his first house at the age of 18 for a member of his school's teaching staff.
