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.
