LC3 Grande Club Chair
inspired by Charles Le Corbusier

• Elegant design from 1929
• Great comfort
• Exclusive leather finish
• Quality craftsmanship

The Grande Club Chair LC3 created by Charles Le Corbusier in 1929, was first introduced at the Salon d’Automne in Paris. The framework, which was traditionally hidden, was placed outside the chair and became a focal design feature. The strong presence of the cubic form of the chair is a result of Le Corbusier’s extensive study into modern design principles and proportion of form. The padded cushions follow a classic, clean outline and provide comfortable seating. Known as the Grand Confort Armchair, the LC3 is one of the established design classics of the 20th century.

INFURN produces the LC3 in quality classic or premium leather in various colors. For maximum comfort the padding is filled with fire-retardant foam. The solid stainless steel chrome completes the design of this piece of furniture.

Accredited as one of the pioneers of what is now called modern architecture, Charles Le Corbusier was born in Switzerland in 1887. His influence as an architect, designer, urbanist and writer cannot be underestimated, touching and affecting numerous nations worldwide across Europe, America and Asia. Dedicated to providing better living conditions for the residents of crowded cities, Le Corbusier applied such ideology to furniture design. He was obsessed with creating pieces that truly take human shape, form and behaviour into consideration, recognising the deep relationship between proportion and harmony. This ideology and an application of architectural genius are both evident within Le Corbusier’s furniture. Awarded the prestigious Frank P. Brown Medal and AIA Gold Medal in 1961, a celebration of Le Corbusier’s work is best summed up by his portrait featuring on the 10 Swiss francs banknote. His work is visible and showcased on an international scale, with the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo and the Museum and Gallery of Art in India actually designed by this forefather of Modernism.
