Multi-talented Frenchman Charles Le Corbusier was an urbanist, architect and designer. His diverse chair designs have been used for business meetings and moments of relaxation while you read or much away on that tasty light snack.
The extremely logical design, incorporating comfort-oriented lines, defines the robust and cubist characteristics of the entire LC series. It seems almost impossible to breathe elegance into this kind of chair, but this is precisely what the designer has done… and ever since the early 1920s, other furniture designers have tried to copy him. But alas, they all fall short of the mark.
The Corbusier bumblebee, buzzing its way into the future, is a literal example of monumental furniture design.

Accredited as one of the pioneers of what is now called modern architecture, Charles Le Corbusier was born in Switzerland in 1887. His influence as an architect, designer, urbanist and writer cannot be underestimated, touching and affecting numerous nations worldwide across Europe, America and Asia.
Dedicated to providing better living conditions for the residents of crowded cities, Le Corbusier applied such ideology to furniture design. He was obsessed with creating pieces that truly take human shape, form and behaviour into consideration, recognising the deep relationship between proportion and harmony. This ideology and an application of architectural genius are both evident within Le Corbusier’s furniture.
Awarded the prestigious Frank P. Brown Medal and AIA Gold Medal in 1961, a celebration of Le Corbusier’s work is best summed up by his portrait featuring on the 10 Swiss francs banknote. His work is visible and showcased on an international scale, with the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo and the Museum and Gallery of Art in India actually designed by this forefather of Modernism.
