In 1908 he worked at the architectural office of Auguste Perret in Paris. In 1910 and 1911 he lived in Germany where he discovered the ideas of many leading designers. He met Wolf Dohrn, the director of the Dresdner Workshop and Hermann Muthesius and Peter Behrens, in whose office he worked for a short period of time. From 1912 to 1914 he taught architecture at the University of Arts in La Chaux de Fonds. Back in Paris, he and the painter Amédée Ozenfant developed the post-cubist art direction of "purism". In 1923 Le Corbusier´s book "Vers Une Nouvelle Architecture" was published; in it he launched his ideas of modern buildings. For the Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs in 1925, Le Corbusier designed the Pavillion L´Esprit Nouveau and at the Paris fall parlor of 1929, he exhibited his furniture designs, which were eventually taken to production by the Thonet Company. Le Corbusier was a member of the Congrès Internationaux d´Architecture Moderne and was regarded as one of the leading architects of his time.   Designs:   Le Corbusier LC4 Chaiselongue leather Le Corbusier LC4 Chaiselongue pony skin Le Corbusier Armchair LC2   Le Corbusier Armchair LC3 Le Corbusier Sofa 2-Seater LC2 Le Corbusier Sofa 3-Seater LC2   Le Corbusier Sofa 2-Seater LC3 Le Corbusier LC3 3-Seater Sofa Le Corbusier LC1 Basculante Chair   Le Corbusier LC1 Basculante pony Le Corbusier LC7 turning chair Le Corbusier LC6 dining table   Shop Cart You can pay by:   - prepayment - cash on delivery
