In 1928, the distinguished Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier made several experimental designs for furniture. These designs by Le Corbusier are identified for being one of the finest examples of modern furniture designs with most if not all are still being produced to this day. One of these creations is the Le Corbusier Chaiselounge LC4.

One of the Le Corbusier’s more only one of its kind designs, the Le Corbusier Chaiselounge LC4 is a reclining chair inspired from the classic French chaise longue or “long chair” design. The chair is primarily split into an independent support foot, a central steel cradle, and a cushioned mat which functions as the LC4’s seat and backrest. The foot of the Chaiselounge is totally detachable from the rest of the chair, and is completed from high-grade steel covered with matte black enamel finish. The inner cradle, on the other hand, is finished from tubular steel and coated with either matte black or chrome finish. The cradle is also formed extensively into a crescent shape so the chair can tilt back smoothly against the foot. The polyurethane cushioned mat is covered with ponyskin, leather or a special ecru canvas and affixed with a barrel-shaped leather cushion on top as the headrest.

Arguably one of the more stylized creations made by Le Corbusier, the Le Corbusier No. 4 or Le Corbusier Chaiselounge LC4 is a modernist kind of the classic French chaise longue design. Le Corbusier done the Chaise Lounge in teamwork with his cousin, Pierre Jeanneret, and French designer Charlotte Perriand and was initially utilized} in the Villa Church in Paris. The chair was later displayed along with other furniture creations by Le Corbusier at the Salon d’ Automne or Autumn Salon exposition in 1929 under the inauguration Equipment for the Home.
