Le Corbusier, along with his cousin Pierre Jeanneret and the designer Charlotte Perriand, collaborated on a series of iconic Modernist furniture pieces in 1928. These designs, which are still produced today by the Italian company Cassina, include:12

LC1: Also known as the siège à dossier basculant or "armchair with a tilting back".12
LC2 and LC3: Known as the "Fauteuil Grand Confort" easy chairs.1
LC4: A classic chaise lounge.12

While Le Corbusier is often credited solely for these works due to his prominence, the designs were a highly collaborative effort. Perriand noted that while Le Corbusier established the framework and design direction, she and Pierre Jeanneret were responsible for fleshing out the construction details and the actual design of the pieces. In 1929, this trio also collaborated on a broader vision of modern living titled "Equipment for the Home," which was exhibited at the Salon d’Automne and featured an entire apartment interior.1
