5 Canape 1935
This model was built for Le Corbusier's home in Rue Nungesser et Coli, Paris. The Chrome-plated steel frame holds together a group of cushions, as in the "Fauteuil grand confort."In a design taken up by the Fondation Le Corbusier, the divan is planned with several variants: the length is a repeatable unit of 120 cm, the metal support is intended to have horizonal red-lacquered franes and violet vertical frames, and the cushions are in "gros tissage" frabric.By a linking system at either end it is possible to add more individual pieces to build up a divan of indefinite length.

Petit LC2, 1928
The Le Corbusier group referred to their LC2 and LC3 collections as "cushion baskets" which they designed in 1928 as a modernist response to the traditional club chair. With cushions held in place without being tethered to the frame, the idea was to offer all the comfort of a padded surface while applying the elegant minimalism and industrial rationale of the International Style. Following the example of the LC1 Sling Chair, these pieces reverse the standard structures of sofas and chairs by having frames that are externalized. The resulting aesthetic of the simple tubular structure is remarkably relevant to how we live today, three-quarters of a century later. Thick, resilient pillows rest within the frames and provide the kind of sumptuousness rarely found in even the finest overstuffed conventional chairs.
