Magazine C Issue 04 FAUTEUIL GRAND CONFORT
The Fauteuil Grand Confort—designed in 1928 by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand—is not just remarkable because it is comfortable. It became an icon of modernity, combining Le Corbusier’s new vision that a chair was “a machine for sitting in” with a frame made of steel, a cutting-edge material at the time. The form borrows the regulating perpendicular and parallel lines, modular concept, and signature piloti structure from Le Corbusier’s architecture, which brings to mind his famous words that chairs are architecture. In other words, the pure form, simple structure, and interconnectedness of these elements evoke a sense of discipline and order, and come together to create a rich beauty in this remarkable chair.
