LC1 armchair, Le Corbusieur, Cassina

Leather and metal armchair in very good condition. Identification number: 72569. Certified original Cassina edition. Designed in 1928, lc is a family of seats that has marked the history of design. The designers le corbusier, charlotte perriand and pierre jeanneret have created an armchair, reissued by the italian manufacturer cassina, which perfectly expresses the rationalism characteristic of modern design. This lightweight and compact seat was presented at the salon d'automne alongside the iconic lc2 and lc3 armchairs. Lc1 is a small tilt-backed armchair with a light silhouette that perfectly complements the collection alongside the lc4 chaise longue and the grand confort armchair. The lc1 armchair consists of a chrome steel base and leather strips that draw the seat. Usually le corbusier, the lc1 armchair is also the result of an in-depth study of body posture and, in this case, is the perfect seat for quiet relaxation. Over time, cassina has specialized in the search for unique and coveted high-quality raw materials such as wood or leather, and handles them partly in a traditional way. Le corbusier's ingenious combination of cold and rigid steel with warm, supple leather, used on the lc1 armchair, marks a new set of contrasts and will mark the history of design. The structure of le corbusier's lc1 armchair is made of high-end stainless steel, the seat and backrest are stretched with skin or full-skin leather. The armrests, on the other hand, are simply wrapped around the ends. Perfect for the living room, le corbusier's lc1 armchair is an example of both simplicity and functionality. What surprises about this chair is the language of serious, minimalist forms, based on a reduced elementary geometry that paradoxically provides ultimate comfort.
