Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
When at the height of his creative output, Le Corbusier was asked by the renowned wallpaper manufacturer Salbura to design a palette for a Le Corbuiser colour collection. In fact, he designed two: the "Claviers de couleurs" in 1931, with 43 shades, and the Salbura collection in 1959 with 20. Even within these seemingly limited spectra, Le Corbusier would not confine himself: instead, he organized the different tones on sample cards so that three to five colours could be isolated or combined using a sliding band. Each of these cards (his "colour keyboards") produced a different colour atmosphere and a specific spatial effect. The Le Corbuiser Polychromie Architecturale, the long-awaited edition of Le Corbusier's chromatic legacy, was first reprinted in 1997, quickly sold out, and is an avidly sought collector's item. Now available in a revised edition, this exquisite three-volume boxed set contains chromatically perfect samples of the wallpapers, colour illustrations, sketches and slide bands, all produced by a high-quality printing process, and then assembled and bound by hand.This extraordinary adventure into colour and the creative vision of modernism's greatest architect includes texts by Le Corbusier and a scholarly introduction by editor Arthur Ruegg.
