LS 990 in Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier®

Le Corbusier's universal colour system, the Polychromie Architecturale, inspires with its timeless colour palette and noteworthy combinability.

JUNG is the exclusive manufacturer of light switches, sockets and operating controls in the 63 original colours of Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier®. With the LS 990 in Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier® range, we incorporate architectural colour design into the field of electrical installation.

Colour overview

All 63 colours used in the classic LS 990 range are tested and approved by the licenser, Les Couleurs Suisse AG. In order to faithfully replicate the impressive colour depth, switches and sockets are hand lacquered using a special process, creating a special matt surface.

The extensive colour ranges

Le Corbusier created his system of architectural colours as a tool for architects, interior designers and designers. His timeless colour palettes have not lost any of their charm even after 90 years.

The 1931 colour palette includes 43 colours in 14 series. Each series consists of one solid colour and up to four graduated brightened variants. The original code of the Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier colours starts with "32xxx", and each unique colour is identified by its last three digits. In addition, Le Corbusier created twelve colour keyboards, each able to create different atmospheric moods.

In 1959, Le Corbusier expanded the Polychromie Architecturale with 20 more intense colours and an additional colour keyboard. Le Corbusier's extraordinary experience as an architect and painter is also reflected in this combination of colourful and achromatic shades with different brightness values from the previous 43 colours.

LS 990 in Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier® in architecture

To this day, Le Corbusier's work still has an impact on modern architecture. The timelessness and versatility that his buildings and colours have can also be seen in JUNG reference projects.
