Le Corbusier (Charles-Edouard Jeanneret) 1896–1967

Originally Swiss, he spent most of his life in France. He became the world's leading architect of the 20th century. He designed the first tubular furniture in 1926 and 27 (a chair and armchair with leather upholstery). From 1930 he cooperated with the Thonet branch in France. At the invitation of T. Bata, he also visited Zlín, where he consulted Baťa's plans for urban and architectural projects for the construction of plants and cities.
