Product Details
LC3 Armchair: Confort Grand Modèle One-Seater
Known for its larger size and softer padding, the LC3 Confort Grand Modèle Armchair retains the distinctive cubic shape and tubular, exoskeletal metal frame as its counterpart in the LC2 series. Complement it with the LC2 Confort Modele Ottoman to create a relaxing chaise, impromptu seating, or a soft side table as needed.
Le Corbusier called the LC3 series a "cushion basket," playfully describing its interplay between industrial materials and comfort. Le Corbusier, Perriand, and Jeanneret’s original design is featured in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
