Le Corbusier, born Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris, was a Swiss-French architect, designer, and urban planner who revolutionized 20th-century architecture and furniture design. He is globally recognized for his contributions to modern design and architecture, including his "Five Points of Architecture" and iconic buildings such as Villa Savoye and the Unité d'Habitation.

Le Corbusier's furniture designs, including the LC4 Chaise Longue (1928) and the LC3 Grand Confort Modèle Armchair (1928), exemplify his philosophy of functional, minimalist design and continue to influence contemporary interiors.
