le Corbusier LC2, LC3, Gran Confort
I have tried to google the differences between these series but can't find any reliable answer. I think I understand the difference between LC2 and LC3, but is Gran Confort still a different series? The Gran Confort seems to have looser cushions and was reffered to as made for ladies. Can someone tell me or help me with a link straighten up this? Thanks!

but then this site ?
Searching on the topic I came across this site:
http://www.directclassics.de/designer/Le_Corbusier/le_corbusier_sessel_lc_grande_comfort_einsitzer_easy_chair_bauhaus_moebel.html
Is this totally bullshit? It sems as they see it as three different series?

prototype?
Not sure if this is fact or not... but my understanding has been that the 3rd photo is a chair based on the LC3 prototype from the 20's. In 1960, Heidi Weber with Lecorbusier, modified the LC3 design into it's modern iteration represented by the second pic. It was manufactured by Heidi Webber for several years and is currently exclusively licensed and produced by cassina.

I'm no expert on the history ...
I'm no expert on the history of this chair, but ... if the 3rd chair is in fact based on the prototype, does that make this knock-off represented in the 3rd pic more 'authentic' than the current licensed version of the LC3? I'd love to hear your thoghts on this matter.

thanks for new information
" ... if the 3rd chair is in fact based on the prototype, does that make this knock-off represented in the 3rd pic more 'authentic' than the current licensed version of the LC3? I'd love to hear your thoghts on this matter."
Ha ha, if the knock-off is more accurate in relation to the prototype, then it is more "authentic" in that perspective, but from a perspective of licence it is not more authentic.
