LC Grand Confort Reinterpretation 2-3 Seater Sofa
Taking the LC2/LC3 Grand Confort (1928) by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand as the prototype, this is a furniture project that redesigns the proportions, cross-sections, and assembly methods to suit modern residential spaces, while maintaining the structural principle of "containing cushions within an exposed frame." The scope of development is set to include a series of two- and three-seater sofas rather than single armchairs. Suitable locations include living rooms and small lounges in urban residences, as well as hotel and office lobbies. Instead of the large surface area presupposed by the original, the project aims for a volume that leaves ample space on both sides even when a single unit is placed in a living room approximately 3.6 meters wide; furthermore, the overall silhouette is scaled down and re-proportioned rather than replicating the original exactly. This "modern and simple reinterpretation" is interpreted by removing ornamentation rather than adding it.

Why these numbers
- 520mmseat_module_width
The sofa expands seating capacity by increasing the number of seats based on a single-seat module width of 500~550mm as standard, with armrests (side frames) occupying 100~150mm each.
- 130mmarm_frame_width
The sofa expands seating capacity by increasing the number of seats based on a single-seat module width of 500~550mm as standard, with armrests (side frames) occupying 100~150mm each.
- 1300mmoverall_width
The overall width and depth are proportionally reduced compared to the original, and in a living room with a 3.6m width standard, one 2-seat sofa is placed with at least 500mm passage clearance on both left and right sides.
- 1820mmoverall_width_3seat
The 2-seat and 3-seat models share the same single-seat module and identical cushion specifications, with variations developed only in the width direction member length.
- 680mmoverall_depth
The overall width and depth are proportionally reduced compared to the original, and in a living room with a 3.6m width standard, one 2-seat sofa is placed with at least 500mm passage clearance on both left and right sides.
- 690mmoverall_height
The 50mm leg extension is added equally to the seat height, armrest height, and overall height, while the frame proportions (relationship between seat, armrest, and backrest top) are maintained at existing values.
