described by our partners, architects,
designers & color experts

Le Corbusier’s Polychromie Architecturale -
A unique tool for skilful, awe-inspiring and
comprehensive colour concepts.
Matthias Naumann, Chairman of the Board, Les Couleurs Suisse, Switzerland

Colour – a tool in architecture
as powerful as the ground plan
and the section.
Or better than that:
polychromy, the very element
of the
ground plan and the section.
Le Corbusier

In order to underline and further expand the
uniqueness of our range of coatings, expanding our
range of colours to include the Le Corbusier colors
was the logical next step for us.

In my work, It is
essential to use the
original colours, the
quality of the pigments
and their matt
appearance is
incomparable.

The timelessness of Le
Corbusier's color palette
fascinates me as a work tool
and also personally, time and
time again. It also guarantees
every client an individual,
high-quality and consistent
colour concept.

remarkable creators of our time.

The LS design series in 63 colours by Le Corbusier, is the unique
opportunity to connect switches, sockets and systems withe the
Architectural Polychromie and to install them as a design element in
the room beyond their technical function.

Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier are like water in a desert of sameness.
The colors are so pure and authentic to a time period and design
revolution. The density and vibrance of color. The edit. The
combinations and color theory. LCLC are both historic and yet
entirely modern. They are like nothing else.
Lauren Goodman - Interior Stylist, USA

It‘s a language of proportions
that
makes it difficult to do things
badly,
but easy to do them well.
Albert Einstein
4320L ocre jaune clair

Colour in general and in architecture in particular is a design tool that
can influence personal emotions and spatial moods like no other. Not
everyone perceives colours in the same way. The combination of
colours makes it even more difficult for the designer to create
universally valid harmonies. With the Polychromie Architecturale, LC
has developed a tool that makes it easier to create balance in colour
that most people can perceive as such.
Philipp Funke, Photograph, Switzerland

Playing a range of 2000 hues up and
down does not result in a melody. It
is crucial to hit the right notes. This
is achieved with the 63 colour tones
of Le Corbusier's Polychromie
thanks to the harmonious
coordination of the colour series in
an ideal way.
Peter Ullmann, Marketing-​ und Verkaufsleiter, Karl
Bubenhofer AG, Switzerland

Contrary to the thousands of colours of NCS, I can easily choose
from 63 colours of the Architectural Polychromy and still never miss
a colour gradation.
Fabian Hörmann, EM2N Architect / Associate, Zurich / Berlin / Brussels

... it is really impressive how with, very
little and apparently simple colour
tones, a brilliant colour design in the
architectural sense is created again
and again - and again and anew, again
and again special, again and again
contemporary...

The ANKER Perlon Rips quality embodies the woven
contract carpet par excellence.
In combination with the colour keyboard by Le
Corbusier, there are endless possibilities.
The result: a variety of colours and haptics not only
give the floor a solid base, but also a timeless and
beautiful look.

The True Thinline Les CouleursTM Le
Corbusier watch collection has attracted a
lot of attention worldwide.
Adrian Bosshard, CEO, RADO, Switzerland
32081 orange clair

The timeless design makes the collaboration between Arte and Les
Couleurs Le Corbusier unique. Very few wallcoverings remain modern
and relevant for many years. The collection of Le Corbusier, inspired
by his work, has succeeded in this without any doubts.
Greet Lemmens, Marketing Manager, Arte-International n.v., Belgium

Colour in architecture –
a means as powerful
as the ground plan and section.
Or better: polychromy,
a component of the ground plan
and the section itself.
Le Corbusier

Expressive and creative freedom is the
basis of Polychromie Architecturale and
the Gigacer ranges: precise but
completely customizable schemes can
arouse emotions.
Barbara Savorani, Head of Marketing, Gigacer S.p.A., Italy
32041 vert anglais clair

The use of the Le Corbusier colours was a complete
success: Thanks to its clear lines and at the same
time striking colour accents, our Le Corbusier
collection attracted a lot of attention and
contributed to an increase in brand awareness
among architects and interior designers as well as
private customers with an affinity for design.
Bianca Weber, Head of Marketing, Dauphin HumanDesign® Group GmbH & Co.

Every color found in the color palette
seems well balanced. For curators,
who often have to deal with spatial
issues as well, this selection forms a
very stimulating and trustworthy
working tool. This color selection has
certainly not lost any of its topicality
today.
Jonas Beyer, Kurator Kunsthaus Zürich
4320D terre sienne brûlée 59

All shades of the Polychromie Architecturale can be
combined with each other. The well thought-out system
gives architects a great deal of creative freedom and, at the
same time, security in the selection process - and thus
makes everyday planning easier.
Jürgen Hess, ebenfalls Geschäftsführer von FSB

Even after more than 80
years, the colors created by
Le Corbusier are still
timeless in their effect, you
can almost say trendresistant!

Colour is an incredibly
triggering tool.
Colour is a factor of our
existence.
