Lounge, LC4
This is a Lounge. It was designed by Le Corbusier (Charles Edouard Jeanneret-Gris).
This object is not part of the Cooper Hewitt's permanent collection. It was able to spend time at the museum on loan from Brooklyn Museum as part of The Jazz Age: American Style in the 1920s.
Interest in bending metal evolved primarily in Germany with the work of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and the Bauhaus, including Marcel Breuer. While Germany and Austria had a history of bent wood, German designers saw the impact of metal in modern interiors. Architect Le Corbusier teamed with his brother Pierre Jeanneret and designer Charlotte Perriand, addressing an interest in the human form when they brought this concept to France. This LC4 chair was purchased in Paris by Marian Willard Johnson, later owner of the Willard Gallery.
It is credited Lent by Brooklyn Museum, Gift of Miani Johnson in memory of her mother, Marian Willard Johnson, 2010.52.3.
