Timeless Furniture: Grand confort chair

Created for the 1929 Salon d’Automne by architect Charles-Edouard Jeanneret (Le Corbusier), pieces from this line, including the Gran Confort chair, became the hallmark of French modern design. With plush leather pillows encased in a rigid metal frame, the Gran Confort chair is a juxtaposition of maximum comfort using minimal materials. Due to the timeless design as well as the compactness of the chairs, these pieces are just as popular as they were over 70 years ago, particularly in small spaces. This LC2 armchair is a perfect modern re-creation of the classic French piece. Buy several of these and stuff them into corners in your house to maximize space or place them side by side in larger spaces for a modern, airy feel.
