The man with the square chairs

Aug 04, 2024

A highlight from our inventory recently made my heart beat faster: the Le Corbusier LC 2 leather armchair!

The LC 2 played a major role in my childhood – it's the first piece of designer furniture I have a concrete memory of. For as long as I can remember, my mother has been a fan of this model. And I owe a large part of my enthusiasm for furniture and design to this early influence. I think the LC 2 is one of those armchairs that lends any room a unique, almost magical aura . A rare piece of perfection.

The LC 3 leather armchair, with its generous upholstery and wider seat, is also not to be underestimated. The voluminous design conveys a feeling of comfort that's particularly well-suited to spacious living rooms or lounges. But for me, the LC 2 embodies the purism and functionality of the Bauhaus style, combined with a timeless aesthetic that makes it perfect for modern, minimalist spaces.

By the way, did you know that Le Corbusier didn't originally design these iconic armchairs as two-seaters ? During his lifetime, both versions were only available as armchairs. Today, we're certainly happy that the models are also available as sofas. Take a look at our Le Corbusier collection and see for yourself.
