Le Corbusier
Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, known as Le Corbusier, was born in 1887 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.
Le Corbusier, who was active in many fields as an architect, urban planner, painter, writer, designer and theorist, opened an architecture studio in Paris in 1922 with his cousin Pierre Jeanneret. In 1928, architect Charlotte Perriand joined the studio and together they began experimenting with furniture design.
