Designed by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand, it revolutionized furniture by placing the body at the center of design. Its chromed steel tubular structure reflects the industrial influence of the Bauhaus movement. Adjustable, it perfectly follows the curve of the body. Published by Cassina, it remains a timeless symbol of the twentieth-century avant-garde. History: Nicknamed the "resting machine", the chaise longue was first unveiled in 1928 at the Villa Church in Ville-d'Avray, a residence designed by Le Corbusier. The presentation inaugurated a new approach to furniture, conceived as a rational extension of the body in domestic space.
