Grand Confort is a cube-shaped high armchair, whose leather cushions are held in a chrome-plated steel corset. It was designed as a modernist response to the traditional club chair in 1928 by a team of three: Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier, and his cousin and colleague Pierre Jeanneret.[1] The LC-2 and LC-3 were referred as Cusion Baskets by Le Corbusier. They are more colloquially referred to as the and due to their respective sizes.
These chairs have become most famous:
The LC-2 (and similar LC-3) have been featured in a variety of media, notably the Maxell "blown away" advertisement.[2] At the 2010 Apple event, the then CEO Steve Jobs used a classic LC-3 chair while introducing the iPad.[3]
They are a permanent design collection of the Museum of Modern Art, in New York.
In Sherlock, the modern-day BBC adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, Holmes sits in an LC-3, while Dr. Watson sits in a traditional club chair.
In Spy × Family, the first volume depicts the character Twilight sitting in an LC-2. The Forger family's living room is also decorated with LC-2 chairs and sofa.[4]
