The Reclined Revolution — LC4 and the Art of Intentional Rest

While Le Corbusier may have signed the sketches, it was Charlotte Perriand who gave modernist interiors their humanity.

The LC4 isn’t a decorative object—it’s an invitation to slow down.

When she joined Le Corbusier’s studio in 1927, she didn’t just design furniture—she softened a movement. Perriand introduced materials like cane, wood, and fabric into a world previously ruled by metal and marble. She designed for how people actually lived, not just how architects imagined they should.

At JPD, we carry her ethos forward. Our interiors, like hers, balance structure with softness, form with feeling. We believe true luxury isn’t about shine—it’s about soul.

Her LC4 Chaise Lounge, her modular shelving, even her mountain refuge cabins—all share one truth: design should liberate, not confine.

“Better to spend a day in the sun than in a museum,” she once said. At JPD, we agree. Beauty belongs in life, not just on display.
