Inside Le Corbusier's Le Cabanon at Art Basel/Design Miami
-
The entrance to the exhibit. Cassina Showroom, Miami, Florida.
-
The exterior of the Le Cabanon replica is a 1:1 of the original, measuring 13' x 15'1" x 10'1".
-
Here, an LC furniture display, including a stool that is now part of the Cassina collection.
-
Coat hooks inside. Only what is needed, and nothing more.
-
The interior reveals a small watering closet.
-
A streamlined bench with built-in drawers for storage in the modular one-room house. Note Le Corbusier's now-iconic choice of bold, primary hues overhead. The original Le Cabanon served as Le Corbusier's holiday home in Cap-Martin, France, where it overlooks the Bay of Monaco.
-
The exhibit's replica includes an original mural painted by Le Corbusier.
-
The interior shot here shows the simple, efficient cabinets, small table, and bench.
-
The built-in table and stools were crafted from used whiskey crates. The overhead cabinets provide additional storage so possessions are kept neatly out of sight in the small living space.
