History
An armchair similar to our pair can be found in Ernest-
Albert Ditisheim's apartment in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.
The interior design of this apartment was redesigned by
Le Corbusier in 1915.
In addition to the interior design
Le Corbusier also designed some elements of the interior furnishings. So much so that in the book "Le Corbusier - Furniture and Interiors 1905-1965", the author Arthur Rüegg improperly attributes this model to Le Corbusier.
