When you start searching for assets to build your library or include some furniture models in a project, you will eventually find some old furniture designs. In some cases, the designs will go back to the beginning of the last century.
An example of this is the LC2 Armchair that is an absolute classic of design. It dates back from 1928 and still is an incredible, and expansive, piece of furniture.
Do you want to download a free model of the LC2 Armchair for Blender? An artist called Amir Esmaeilzadeh posted a model for the LC2 Armchair on his Behance page.
The artist didn't use Blender for the modeling but shared the chair as an FBX file. Since Blender can import FBX files without significant problems, you can get that furniture model for Blender. It even includes some leather textures.
Unfortunately, we don't have any information regarding the licensing of the model.
Those of you with a formal education in architecture or design will probably be familiar with the LC2 and the author behind its unique shape. The chair is one of many furniture designs from Le Corbusier, which one of the most influent architects in recent history.
You can now use one of his designs for your interior visualization projects in Blender.
Using Blender for architecture
Do you want to use Blender for architecture or render your projects using Cycles or Eevee? We have three books available that could help you!
They cover the use of Blender for producing architectural content and also all information you need to render projects in real-time:
- Blender 2.9 for architecture: Modeling and rendering with Eevee and Cycles
- Blender 2.8 parametric modeling: Drivers, Custom Properties, and Shape Keys for 3D modeling
- Blender 3.0: The beginner's guide
- Blender Eevee: The guide to real-time rendering with Blender 2.8
You can get them in both digital and paperback formats. By ordering those books, you will not only improve your skills with Blender for architecture but also support Blender 3D Architect.
