Apart from the LC2 chairs in brown leather by Corb, can anybody else recall what furnishings are used in the Villa Savoye. (I know a lot of it is built in).I'm writing a piece on it for a newspaper.

Hi Stephen
There are some pictures around from the original furniture in the Villa Savoie. Non of those shows any of the Le Corbusier classics. In any case it is not evne close to the way it has been restored more recently. When I visited the building decades ago, it was abandoned and in bad shape, I have not been there since but I can see on their own website that, with the exception of the lighting nothing comes close to the original choice of furniture. I will try to find the documents I am refering to.
