The LC4 Chaise Lounge emerged from the collaborative genius of Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand in 1928, making its celebrated debut at the 1929 Paris Salon d'Automne. Its full French designation, "Chaise Longue à Réglage Continu," literally translates to "lounge chair with continuous adjustment," highlighting its iconic adjustable mechanism.
Le Corbusier famously dubbed the LC4 Chaise Lounge his "relaxing machine," reflecting its engineered ergonomic form, seamless adjustable reclining mechanism, and modernist industrial aesthetic. This innovative design expresses his philosophy that furniture should serve as a natural extension of human needs and movements.
The LC4 Chaise Lounge: Brown & White Haired Hide is shown on a Mirror Chromed Tubular Stainless Steel Frame with Black Leather Bolster Cushion.

Archetype LC4 Chaise Lounge: Haired Hide
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.
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.
