In the course of this century, the wallpaper company Salubra, based in Grenzach near Basel, has repeatedly asked famous artists to compose individual color scales and collections for practical use in the wallpaper industry. Le Corbusier designed two collections for Salubra: the "Claviers de couleurs" in 1931 with 43 shades, and the Salubra collection in 1959 with 20 colors. By 1924, Le Corbusier had succeeded in applying his experiences, gained on his travels and as a purist painter, to the polychromes of his buildings. Thus, he could considerably change the spatial effect of the "white" houses of early modernism. In 1930/31 Le Corbusier seized the opportunity to design the first collection for Salubra: 43 color tones on which he relied as an architect and painter. He organized the different tones onto 12 sample cards in a way that, with the use of a slide, three to five colors could be isolated or combined in each case. Each of these cards (or "color keyboards") had a different color mood that was calculated to create a very specific atmospheric spatial effect when applied in practice. Thus, not only a useful tool, but also a kind of legacy of purist color theory was created. It can in itself be considered a kind of "artwork." From 1957 to 1959, a second collection with 20 colors was designed according to the modified ideas In autumn 1997, Birkhauser brought the Salubra colors to light again, publishing them in Le Corbusier's original "Claviers" arrangement and as large-format color swatches. Now, the color plates are available in a new, conveniently portable, and attractively priced edition. The 63 shades, each reproduced in true color on individual cards, fan open in color-samplefashion, turning a historically unique 'color-manual' into a practical and vibrant tool fo

Le Corbusier designed two color collections for the Salubra wallpaper company: the “Clavier de couleurs” of 1931, with 43 colors, and the 1959 collection, with 20. Not content with the mere color selection, drawn from his experience as an architect and painter, he also organized the tones on 12 sample cards in such a manner that, by using a slider, three or five colors could be varyingly isolated or combined. Each card contained a different color scheme meant, when applied, to create a particular spatial effect. This would become not only a useful tool but also a kind of testament of the purist color theory, an essential groundwork and a valuable instrument for all those who deal with color in theory or practice.
In the first volume, Arthur Rüegg, the renowned Le Corbusier expert, explores the significance of the Salubra collections for the history of modern architecture, and in the epilogue to this third edition, presents the specialist research conclusions from the last twenty years. The second volume contains 13 color plates with the 63 colors, printed using the screen printing method and glued by hand as well as 4 separate sliders in pocket. Volume three consists of 63 full page color sample sheets, also printed using the screen printing method.
