More images

Please select your preferred colour or material:

The Basculant Chair (1928) was inspired by a mid nineteenth century folding chair used by the British army officers on campaign in India. Known simply as the 'Colonial Chair', the elegant simplicity of this predecessor has been carefully preserved. Indeed the lines of the 'Colonial's' tilted seat and canted back, are strikingly similar to those of the Basculant Chair.

Le Corbusier had the foresight to see the true beauty in this humble design, elevating it from rugged utilitarian basic, to functional art. In this modern derivation, a chromed steel frame replaces the oak of the original, and leather seat and back replace light canvas.
Covering chromium-plates tubular steel framework. High-quality leather.

Dimensions: 60 x 64 x 65 cm ( W x D x H )

1887 - 1965Le Corbusier was born in La Chaux-de-Fonds (Switzerland) 1887, he died 1965 in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin (France)

Despite having a little formal training, Le Corbusier is commonly thought of as one of the most important and admired architects and designers of the twentieth century.

Le Corbusier, born Charles-Edouard Jeannet, studied metal engraving at the School of Applied Arts at La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland.

The majority of Le Corbusier's work throughout the 1920s and 1930 proposed a new visual clarity, which epitomized the international Style of the period.

By the 1950s, however, Le Corbusier had moved away from the formalism of the International Style towards a freer and more expressive exploration of the potential of concrete in his work.

Together with his architect cousin, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier created also a number furniture pieces that have become modern-day design classics, such as the Model B306 Chaise Lounge known as LC4 for Thonet and Embru (1928) and Model No LC2 Grand Confort club chair for Thonet (1928)
