The Le Corbusier Basculant Sling Chair (LC1) is the best-known version of the reinterpretation of the British "officers chair". The Le Corbusier Basculant Sling Chair (LC1) was first exhibited at the Salon D' Automne in 1929 with such icons as the chaise lounge and the Grand Confort collection. The Le Corbusier Basculant Sling Chair (LC1) was designed in 1928 for the furnishing of a villa in the Ville d' Avray, and utilizes exposed structural elements with hide leather seat and back with banded armrests.
