Le Corbusier seating explained.
 Designed by Le Corbusier in 1929 for the Salon d'Automne.  
     
  On this page you will find some very specific facts about the copy that we sell. Although very similar from pictures everywhere these pieces are not created equally. If you are on the market for any Le Corbusier piece this could be a very enlightening material. We have divided the chair/sofa on the basic components and explained them separately. The design features an external frame made of highly polished stainless steel. The cushions are made of multi-density foam for firm support and plush comfort. The leather is hand-selected, expertly sewn and piped. The lines are clean, straight and precise. Incredible quality, style and comfort at a competitive price. If you need any close up pictures or other information, call 480-941-8192.       



From the manufacturer :

The leather: Many low cost imports flooding into the market from China are using LEATHER MATCH (pvc vinyl) on the sides and backs. Ours are made with FULL ITALIAN LEATHER. We are unique in the business in that we offer many choices in leather because we specialize in leather furniture. Many of our competitors are office furniture factories now jumping on board. They rarely use Italian leathers, but instead use low quality split leathers, pig leathers, etc. Typically, they only offer black color due to their inability to control quality. Leather swatches are available from us.

 

 

 
The cushions: Cushions sit squarely on the frame. Many of our competitors will not align properly due to poor technique. Our seat cushions are boxed in a wood frame with inner Pirelli webbing and zig-zag spring system. You will have a hard time finding a more comfortable, long lasting or superior seating system than ours. We use premium 2.0 lbs. high density fire-rated foam. This ensures a longer life over our competitors' products.
 

 
The frame: Our products look good from all angles. We have middle support legs on our loveseats and sofas, too. Our competitors' products may look similar from the front, but the back and sides will have missing or badly bent legs and cross bars. Le Corbusier's original design lines are destroyed by these factories and sellers. Watch out for the 26" deep frames, as they do not give the proper seat support as Le Corbusier originally intended. The original is 29" deep as is ours.  We use no.304 stainless steel from South Korea. Our competitors use Chinese-made no. 304 or no. 202, which may corrode or rust over time. Also, the competitor's Chinese-made steel is inconsistent and cannot be polished to the same high luster as ours.
