In 1925, the famous famous Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier made a book on contemporary art and design, identified the L’Art décoratif d’aujourd’hui (The Decorative Arts of Today). The book explained Le Corbusier’s certainty that furniture should be like “extensions” of the human extremity and are thus modified to its role . Le Corbusier was conclusively bestowed the chance to apprehend his well-designed ideas in 1928 when he worked with French interior designer Charlotte Perriand on various furniture styles. For these instance was the LC1 Sling Chair.

One of Le Corbusier’s acclaimed chair designs, the Le Corbusier No.1 or LC1 Sling Chair is made up of a tubular steel frame, leather- sheathed seat and backrest, and harmonizing with leather armrests on the other side. The chair’s figure is influenced by that of the typical British officer’s chair, and its skeletal frame considered contrast to conventional chair creations which had the frame wrapped in under sheets of padding and upholstery.

The arrangement of the LC1 Sling Chair is done from top grade tubular steel sheathed with either converted chrome or matte black finish, whereas the seat and back rests are made from ponyskin, Russian red saddle leather or black aniline leather. The chair’s arm rests, besides, are basically leather straps looped around specially designed areas of the frame. The arm rest’s belt-like figure permitted the owner to rests his arms easily while allowing suitable ease of movement at the same time. Further, the chair also has a admirable adjustment at the back of the frame which allows the chair to tilt duly whenever the chair’s owner diverts in his or her sitting position.

The LC1 Sling Chair, as well as with the rest of Le Corbusier’s collections, was first made in the 1930s under the furniture company of finest cabinet-maker Michael Thonet and later by the Swiss-based furniture company Embru. Today, the Milan-based creator] furniture company Cassina is the eventhough copy of the Sling Chair by other manufacturers are also seen on the market.
