Grand Confort is a cube-shaped high armchair, whose leather cushions are held in a chrome-plated steel corset.
It was designed as a modernist response to the traditional club chair in 1928 by a team of three: Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier, and his cousin and colleague Pierre Jeanneret; and . The LC-2 and LC-3 were referred as Cusion Baskets by Le Corbusier. They are more colloquially referred to as the petit confort and grand confort due to their respective sizes.
