Chair B9/209 known as "Le Corbusier", early 20th century.

This elegant classic in curved wood is a masterpiece in terms of design and craftsmanship: the backrest and armrests are formed from a single cantilevered curved frame, made from one piece. An extreme concern for aesthetic minimalism, combined with the organic shape of the chair, resembles a sculpture. The architect Le Corbusier, who described this chair as having a noble character, used it in many of his constructions, notably in the Weißenhof estate in Stuttgart in 1927, as well as in the La Roche house, from which it gets its nickname. In superb condition, stable, with no play, the manual caning is in very good condition, finished with wax. Dimensions. H85 X W57 X D55. Seat height 46 cm.
