Between 1927 and 1929, Charlotte Perriand while working in the design atelier of Le Corbusier, together designed sofas and chairs that have become icons of the Bauhaus movement and modern design.
They're combined innovations "deconstructed" the traditional expression of material use in furniture design. Perriand became famous for exposing the structure of the pieces she designed, i.e. the tubular steel frame on the outside of the cushions.
I've probably seen this sofa design a million times in my travels...but no matter how many times I see it, it always brings a smile to my face.
