Le Corbusier's architectural philosophy was elegant, simple and correct. He wanted houses to be as useful as machines. What we deride as tower blocks he called vertical garden cities, designs which freed up the land. He developed a new system of proportions called 'Le Modulor' based entirely on the human form: it is modern classicism.

We are absolutely wrong to condemn him because of asinine politicians responsible for postwar social housing. Entirely lacking the conceptual sophistication of Le Corbusier, Thamesmead is hideous because the penny-pinching government insisted on inept systems of prefabrication. There were government cash inducements to build tall at any price. They forgot about the gardens, the proportions and the art.

The Tilting Chair by Le Corbusier chair( Le Corbusier Lc1) is a reinterpretation of English 'Officers chair', was designed by the architect with the help of Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret. The latter is recognized as one of the most important designers 'modernist' chairs.

The peculiarity of Le Corbusier Lc1 is due to the fact that the back is swinging and this guarantees the maximum comfort of the seat, the ponies and coating the steel frame polished to provide a refined and elegant ... with a touch of exoticism.
