He began experimenting with furniture design in 1928 after inviting the architect Charlotte Perriand, to join his studio. His cousin, Pierre Jeanneret, also collaborated on many of the designs. Before the arrival of Perriand, Le Corbusier relied on ready-made furniture to furnish his projects, such as the simple pieces manufactured by Thonet.
Le Corbusier is undoubtedly considered to be the most important Modernist chair designer in France. A spirited advocate of Modernism, Le Corbusier created a range of Grand Confort Lounge Chairs that express his ideals with great sophistication. The iconic design is now available to but at livingroom24.com, the virtual department store for furniture connoisseurs.
Mrs. Heidi Weber of Zurich first put the Le Corbusier collection into production in 1959. With the approval of Le Corbusier, she changed the appearance of the chair. She removed the spring mechanism and used fabricating methods, which allowed the frame to be chromed. She also gave the cushions a more formal & tailored look. Her contribution to the re-design of the collection contributed to the commercial success of the collection. With its external frame and sumptuous cushions, the "Grand Comfort" projects luxury and epitomises the international style.
