A design icon, this outdoor armchair has a lightweight compact seat. The balance between form and function relies on the use of the Modulor, a scale of human body proportions, and on a mathematical language based on the proportions of universal harmony. Introduced in 1929, along with other emblematic pieces like the LC2 Fauteuil Grand Confort, petit modèle and LC3 Fauteuil Grand Confort, grand modèle armchairs, LC6 Table tube d’avion table and LC4 Chaise longue à reglage continu. Like all of Le Corbusier’s works, the LC1 Fauteuil à dossier basculant armchair stems from in-depth study of human posture and is engineered to provide perfect support for extraordinary relaxation that puts one in the mood for conversation. Its superb compositional simplicity lends itself to various outdoor settings; it is also available with a special textured paint finish in several colors and a collection of dedicated upholstery materials.
