The History Seat

An armchair that reshaped the language of modern design. Introduced in 1928 by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand, it broke convention by exposing the tubular steel frame, turning structure into ornament. The cube-like composition creates a precise balance of hard edges and generous cushions—a study in industrial rigor and human comfort.

Questions About The LC3 Armchair

How long until I receive my order?

The LC3 Armchair arrives approximately 6-10 Weeks from the day of order.

Our products take longer to arrive than most others on the internet. But there's a good reason why. Most of our pieces are made to order and ship directly from the source. We don’t keep warehouses or carry excess inventory. This is how we cut costs and pass thousands in savings back to you. But it also means you have to wait a bit longer.
What is your return policy

The LC3 Armchair can be returned Made-to-order, no returns accepted after receiving the order if the product is damaged or unusable.

Our products are made to order. So we cannot offer returns for changes in preference. But we always do what we can to make it right.

To be returned, products need to be completely unused and still in their original packaging.

Judge us by our looks

Our packaging is safe, simple, and proudly no frills. We don't think it makes sense to pay for things you throw away immediately.

That's why the LC3 Armchair ships in the same protective packaging the manufacturer uses, covered in functional stickers and foreign stamps showing the journey it's been on.

We don't hide it and wear it as a badge of honor for the places our products have been and the people who made them.
