Chaise longue LC4 — Le Corbusier, Perriand for Cassina, Italy, 1970s

The LC4 is one of those pieces that has transcended the century without ever leaving the interiors that matter: designed in 1928 by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand, it embodies the functionalist spirit of the modern movement while maintaining an immediately recognisable sculptural silhouette. This Cassina example, numbered and marked under the chrome tube, combines a black lacquered wooden base with a black leather shell that follows the curvature of the body. The leather has been refurbished and the base re-lacquered in the most exposed areas, while the chrome structure has been polished; the seat retains a beautiful original patina and a stable structure. Pieces from this period are experiencing a marked resurgence in the design market, driven by a constant demand for icons of the modern movement. A piece that is both functional and heritage-rich, for an interior that embraces its history.
