Le Corbusier LC14 Cube Stools Pair Circa 1967

Magnificent pair of Le Corbusier LC14 Tabouret Maison du Brésil Cube Stools, circa 1967 standing as a testament to this are and exceptional design, crafted from solid Teak around 1967, these pieces were the brainchild of Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, better known as Le Corbusier. Originally designed in 1952 for his own holiday retreat, the ‘Petit Cabenon’ in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, the Tabouret stool reflects Le Corbusier's innovative approach to furniture as functional art. His concept, inspired by the simplicity and utility of box-like structures, was further developed in 1959 for the Maison du Brésil at the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris.
Originating from a student hostel in Chandigarh, a project that also involved his cousin Pierre Jeanneret. Not just a stool, these pieces double as side tables, featuring openings on all sides except the base, remarkable artefacts of architectural brilliance.
The LC14 Tabouret comes in two distinct sizes: the larger Cabanon and the smaller Maison du Brésil, each offering a unique aesthetic and functional versatility. Whether placed lengthwise for a broader surface or on its smaller side for a taller profile, they adapt seamlessly to any space. Ideal for various interior settings, these stools can be mixed and matched for an optimal visual impact.

Provenance: These pieces hail from the Student Hostel at Sector 34 Udayan Path, Chandigarh, adding to their rich historical and cultural value.
