The LC4 Chaise Lounge was originally designed by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand in 1928, debuting at the Paris Salon d’Automne in 1929.

Le Corbusier referred to the LC4 as the “relaxing machine” due to its ergonomic curves, continuously adjustable reclining position, and industrial design. Its functionality aligns with his belief that furniture should be an extension of human functions.

The LC4 Chaise Lounge: Gold Haired Hide is shown with a Sierra Textured Suede Bolster on Polished Chrome Tubular Steel with Black Powder Coat Steel Base.

The Archetype Forms LC4 Chaise Lounge: Gold Haired Hide is a faithful reproduction of the original Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand LC4 Chaise Lounge, also known as 4 Chaise Longue à Réglage Continu.

The LC4 Chaise Lounge is a pivotal piece in modernist furniture design. Its debut at the 1929 Paris Salon d’Automne marked a shift towards the perception of furniture as functional art.

The LC4’s most distinctive feature is its ability for continuous adjustment to various reclining positions, enabled by its innovative bent tubular steel frame, aligning with Le Corbusier’s vision of furniture as a tool for modern living.

With Perriand’s influence evident in the LC4’s ergonomic design, the chaise’s form was inspired by 18th-century daybeds but reimagined through an industrial lens to accommodate the human body’s curves. Its enduring appeal lies in its successful fusion of industrial design language with human-centric design principles.
