The One Of A Kind LC 4 Chaise Lounge Of The Brlliant Swiss-French Architect Le Corbusier
In 1928, the distinguished Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier completed various experimental styles for furniture. These designs by Le Corbusier are honor for being one of the earliest exemplars of modern furniture designs with most if not all are still being generated to this period. Along with these stylish designs still in making is the LC 4 Chaise Lounge.
Perhaps one of the more elegant designs completed by Le Corbusier, the Le Corbusier No. 4 or LC 4 Chaise Lounge is a modernist interpretation of the traditional French chaise longue design. Le Corbusier created the Chaise Lounge in partnership with his cousin, Pierre Jeanneret, and French artist Charlotte Perriand and was primarily used in the Villa Church in Paris. The chair was later presented along with other furniture designs by Le Corbusier at the Salon d’ Automne or Autumn Salon presentation in 1929 under the inauguration Equipment for the Home.
The LC 4 Chaise Lounge is composed of of three fundamental parts: the independent support base, the curved central cradle, and the cushioned mat which operates as the seat and backrest for the chair. The foot is done from welded steel layered with a black matte finish, and is built-in with plastic tips at the legs to avoid dents and scratches. The cradle is also made from steel, but is curved into a C-shape and layered with either black matte or chrome. The cradle is bent so that the chair can smoothly lie down against the bottom. The cushioned mat, for the moment, is covered in high-quality ponyskin, black leather, or a commissioned beige canvas substance. The mat also has a cylindrical cushion on uppermost which carry out as the headrest.
The LC4 Chaise Lounge was first made in the 1930s by the Thonet furniture corporation and the Swiss Embru company correspondingly until 1964, when the Milan-based Cassina artist furniture company gained the rights to produce Le Corbusier’s designs. Now Cassina continues as one of the topmost manufacturers of the LC 4 Chaise Lounge, even though third-party reproductions are now as well available.
