Alike most of his generation during the early 20th century, the famous Swiss-French modernist architect Le Corbusier (false name of Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris) was also an expert furniture designer. In teamwork with Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier created several experimental modern furniture designs in 1928 which were later exhibited at the prominent Salon d’ Automne art display at Paris in 1929. Amongst these designs was the Le Corbusier LC3 Sofa.
One of numerous sofa designs by Le Corbusier, the Le Corbusier No. 3 or LC3 Sofa is a two-seater sofa with an exterior tubular steel frame and loose black cushions that operates as its seat, backrest, and armrest. The frame with chrome, polished or matte black enamel finish. The cushions, on the other hand, are layered with either fair leather or fabric of various tints.
The Le Corbusier LC3 Sofa is share of the Le Corbusier No. 3 or LC3 Group, which also comprises the LC3 Meridienne, LC3 Ottoman, and the LC3 Armchair. A three-seater edition of the LC3 Sofa was also later added in the compilation, and whose technical qualifications were influenced from designs sketches by Perriand in 1928.
The Le Corbusier LC3 Sofa was first produced in 1930 by the furniture company of French cabinet-maker Michael Thonet and after then by the Swiss-based Embru furniture company. In 1964, the creator furniture company Cassina from Milan attained the rights from Le Corbusier to manufacture his creation. Today, Cassina is the certified producer of Le Corbusier’s furniture collections including the Le Corbusier LC3 Sofa under license from the Fondation le Corbusier.However, due to their immense fame reproductions of Le Corbusier’s designs have also been produced by third-party manufacturers.
