Le Corbusier (1887-1965) was born Charles-Edouard Jeanneret-Gris in Switzerland and moved to Paris in 1917. Widely regarded as the most important architect of the 20th century, he was also a gifted painter, writer, urban planner and designer. One of his most iconic designs is the LC4 Chaise Longue. Designed in 1928, the chair was called the "relaxing machine" as it mirrors the body's curves and has an infinite amount of sitting angles. The frame is movable and adjusts from upright to full recline. Examples of the LC4 chaise longue can be found in the permanent collections of many museums including the MoMA in NYC. This pair of chairs, in their original black leather, was manufactured by Cassina and each chair is signed and numbered. Cassina has the exclusive worldwide license from the Le Corbusier Foundation to produce the LC4. The chairs come with the original documentation from Cassina. 63" l., 22 1/2" w., 33" h. Italian, 20th c.
