Lc4 Chaise Longue

Le Corbusier described his Chaise Longue as the "real machine for 
rest." It made its initial appearance at the Villa Church, Ville d'
Avray in a prototype version. As with the other models of Le Corbusier, 
the Chaise Longue was first presented to the public at the Salon d'
Automne des Artistes Dècorateurs in Paris in 1929. It is reminiscent 
of the famous chaise of Thonet, the bentwood being translated into 
tubular steel. In the archives of L'Esprit Nouveau there is a folder 
advertising an adjustable lounge Chair, "Le Surrepos" designed by Dr. 
Pascuad which certainly directly inspired Le Corbusier. The Chaise 
Longue of Le Corbusier was first put into production by Thonet France 
who, in all probability, constructed the first prototype. In the early 
1930's it was produced, under Thonet license, by the Swiss company, 
Embru. The Chaise Longue in its present form was reintroduced in 1959 
by Heidi Weber of Zurich who worked on the re-edition directly with Le 
Corbusier. Mrs. Weber modified the base substituting the elliptical tube 
with an oval tube which was easier to obtain and work with.
