LC1 Outdoor

A light, compact chair, the LC1 designed and presented at the 1929 Salon d’Automne along with other impor­tant models, such as the LC2 and LC3 armchairs, the LC6 table, and the LC4 chaise-longue. As with all of Le Corbusier’s works, the LC1 derives from an in-depth study of human posture. In this partic­u­lar case, the chair is intended to be relax­ing and to foster conver­sa­tion. The balance between form and func­tion is achieved by using the Modulor, a system based on the male body’s typical measure­ments and a math­e­mat­i­cal language informed by the propor­tions of univer­sal harmony. Its perfect compo­si­tional simplic­ity, which can adapt for use in various contexts, is now avail­able in an outdoor version, treated with special textured paint in five colors and with a collec­tion of specially designed covers.
