Contemporary LC2 Brass Armchair Celebrating 100 Years Bauhaus and Le Corbusier

About the Item

Bauhaus celebrates its 100th birthday. For this, the Swiss designer Ginger Zalaba designed a re-edition of the most famous Swiss Bauhaus architect Le Corbusier. For her reinterpretation of the LC2, Ginger Zalaba now shows that surfaces and shades of this icon can be rethought. She presents the Le Corbusier armchair in striking color and texture worlds that change perspectives. So she gives him a new but still classy face lifting after 100 years. The LC2 is an icon, so there was no question of working on the form, but focusing on the surfaces. It is an attempt to take the furniture out of time and integrate it into a contemporary setting so that one can’t read the age of 100 years. For this she uses fabrics that have accompanied the fashion world for years, such as tartan, twill and tweed. The result is a collection whose textures and shades create the transfer to contemporary home décor trends. Zalaba divides the armchair into three design areas: frame, seat and armrest upholstery. The striking, geometric steel frame is presented in six new colors, which are powder coated with metallic finishings like brass and bronze or a sleek black. With color and texture she guides the eye, emphasizing form and proportion. Inspirations were her favorite fashion brands like Gucci, Burberry and Chanel. The trendy LC2 combines an interplay of geometries, colors and textures that skillfully combines the best of contemporary and classy design. Ginger Zalaba, born in Zurich 1987, is a Bauhaus child. Her grandfather Otto Kolb was one of the pioneers of American New Bauhaus. The question of how we deal with the Bauhaus heritage inspired her to redesign iconic pieces. This resulted in a wonderful project in which she was able to combine fashion and interior design. Access to the Craft plays an important role and sets the tone of understanding material and construction. After graduating in Art and Exhibition Design at the ZHdK with a Master, Zalaba studied Interior Design in Milano at IED. There - as in the Bauhaus university - the workshop was the workplace. Ginger Zalaba launched her first furniture collection KOLB in 2015. In her work, she combines furniture, interiors and art - an interdisciplinary mix that enables her to capture projects from a variety of perspectives. Zalaba design stands for New Bauhaus design, Swiss-Italian luxury furniture and modern interiors. For over 30 years the family business Zalaba design is active in the design field.
