After "LE CORBUSIER" (Switzerland, 1887 - France, 1965), years 80-90. LC4 chaise lounge. Metal structure and leather upholstery. Measurements: 90 x 55 x 160 cm. The LC 4 chaise lounge, presented at the 1929 Salon d'Automne du Design, is the best known of Le Corbusier's furniture. It is a purist, radical design that won critical acclaim in its time and is still a classic of 20th century design today. This modern edition seeks greater comfort by presenting the upholstery with more padding than the original design. Architectural theorist, architect, designer and painter Swiss, naturalized French, Le Corbusier is considered one of the clearest exponents of the Modern Movement in architecture, and one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century. He developed a new architecture based on five points that would be key to the development of this discipline from then on: the free plan, the garden-terrace, the "pilotis", the longitudinal window and the free facade. Among his most outstanding architectural projects are the Swiss Pavilion of the Cité Universitaire de Paris, the Unité d'Habitation in Marseille and the chapel of Notre Dame du Aut. in Ronchamp. As a furniture designer, Le Corbusier made his first creations with Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand, obtaining the definitive impulse in the Paris Decorative Arts Exhibition of 1925. Already his first chairs and armchairs were conceived in terms of comfort, and based on anthropometric studies that guarantee a total adaptability to the body. The first design that Le Corbusier created, together with Jeanneret and Perriand, was the LC1 chair, presented in 1928 and characterized by a height-adjustable backrest that allowed the user to choose the most comfortable posture. He would continue to work along these lines, and at the 1929 Salon d'Automne du Design he presented his LC4 chaise longue, a purist and radical design that has become a classic today. Equally well known are his LC2, LC3 and LC5 designs, one-, two- and three-seater sofas designed to revolutionize the mass production of modern furniture. We must also highlight the design of stools and dining chairs, such as the LC7, presented at the 1929 Salon d'Automne or the LC8. Le Corbusier, Jeanneret and Perriand sought to design furniture for all rooms of the house, and so they created pieces like the LC9, a stool for the bathroom, very simple, with fabric seat. Le Corbusier also created other types of furniture, such as tables and shelves. His designs are currently edited by the Italian company Cassina, and are present in important collections such as the MoMA in New York or the Victoria & Albert in London.

FRANK OWEN GEHRY (Toronto, 1929) for Knoll. Hat Trick armchair in bent and interlocking maple wood strips. Manufactured by Knoll International, USA, with stamp. Light marks of use. Measurements: 85 x 59 x 56 cm. Seat height 46 cm. Frank Gehry was born in Toronto and moved with his family to Los Angeles in 1947. He graduated from the University of Southern California in 1954 and began working full time with Victor Gruen Associates, where he had been apprenticing part-time while still in school. He was admitted to Harvard Graduate School of Design to study urban planning. When he returned to Los Angeles, he rejoined Gruen where he stayed until 1960. In 1961 he moved to Paris, where he worked in the studio of André Rémondet. He remained in the French capital for a year, during which time he studied the works of Le Corbusier and other French and European architects, as well as existing Romanesque churches in France. In 1962 Gehry returned to LA and opened his architectural practice in L.A. With magnificent buildings such as the Guggenheim Bilbao Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the new Foundation Louis Vuitton in Paris, Gehry has changed the nature and spirit of contemporary architecture. Yet the world’s best-known living architect has also enjoyed a prolific career as a designer of artful and functional objects, ranging from furniture to jewelry, that even at smaller scale are as lively and captivating as his architectural designs. In 1972 Gehry introduced a series of corrugated cardboard furniture under the name Easy Edges. The Easy Edges were a great success and brought Gehry overnight fame as a furniture designer. Frank Gehry came to Knoll in 1989 with an idea for a new generation of bentwood furniture inspired by the simple bushel basket. After three years of experimentation and exploration, the collection was debuted in the Frank Gehry: New Furniture Prototypes show at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. Each piece is named after a different hockey term such as Power Play, Cross Check and Hat Trick. Inspired by the surprising strength of the apple crates he played on as a child, Frank Gehry created his thoroughly original collection of bentwood furniture. The ribbon-like designs transcend the conventions of style by exploring, as the great modernists did, the essential challenge of deriving form from function. Frank Gehry has taught at several American art academies, design schools and universities and in 2011 he became a professor at the University of Southern California - and has received several honorary doctorates.
