Designer lounge chair Classic Design Italia CHAISE LONGUE by Le Corbusier
Designed by Le Corbusier with Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand, the "chaise longue à réglage continu" - also known asB306 - was presented at the "Salone d'Automne" in Paris in 1929 as part of the "Equipement interieur d'une habitation (Interior equipment of a room)".
Certainly, the most famous classic of the "Le Corbusier group," is constituted by two independent elements: the base and the cradle (seat or rest). The cradle - the form follows the curve of the human body - appears to move on its base and it can slide without any mechanisms, with a continual gliding that allows for any angle and it remains stable thanks to the friction of steel and the rubber covering the crosspieces of the base.
Le Corbusier defined it as the "true resting machine" and mentioned having thought of a cowboy while designing, smoking his pipe, sitting with his feet up, supported on the edge of the fireplace.
