Designed in 1928 and made famous in 1965 by Cassina, the LC4 is the definitive chaise longue. Built in a shape designed for relaxation, the chair was created when the three designers teamed together to put man at the centre of their design, taking the idea that form and function should be at the service of relaxation, creating a perfect balance between its geometric purity and its ergonomic intent.

The model offered in this auction is the most sought after, with chrome plated steel frame and upholstery coated with piebald pony hair leather. 
The chaise longue was taken over from a flat in Milan where it had been meticulously looked after for over twenty years by the owner. The condition is therefore very good, both in terms of the structure and the pony hair leather coating.  Any signs of age related wear (where found) are very light.
There is an engraved mark of originality on the chromium-plated body, 'Lc4' with serial number '23719', and the black base is branded 'Cassina'.

Dimensions: height: 67 cm, width: 56 cm, length: 160 cm.

'A house is a machine to live in'. What about the armchair? It is obviously 'a relaxing machine'! This is a quote from Charles-Edouard Jeanneret Gris, then known as Le Corbusier, while he designed what was going to become before long the quintessential chaise-longue. LC4 is an armchair (thus described) loved, dreamed and hailed as an absolute icon and a never-ending success. Who knows whether 'Le Corbu' expected it to become so popular when it was still on the drawing board. And to think that the inspiration came simply from the desire to relax, or rather from a quick break 'stolen' by Charlotte Perriand, immortalised while she was resting on a primitive model of chaise-longue with a self-supporting mattress attached to the structure.

This archetypal design quickly became the relaxing machine par excellence. A machine indeed, because Le Corbusier, the undisputed master of the Modernist Movement, treated every project as a machine designed according to the Bauhaus dogma. The 1928 prototype of the LC4 was in fact created by a team including Pierre Jeanneret and partner Charlotte Perriand. Essential, functional, almost extreme, LC4 is all about the simple and ergonomic support system, a steel cradle supported by a steel pedestal.

The genius of it? It is precisely its curved shape, capable of adjusting to the position of the body, is made even more comfortable by a slender mattress and a cylindrical padded headrest. In other words, with a few precise strokes Le Corbusier revolutionised the concept of the armchair and turned it into the symbol of the modern design revolution. In fact, it only needed to be presented a year later at the Salon d'Automne with the suggestive name of 'Chaise Longue à réglage continu' for it to make an immediate and definitive mark on the history of design. An instant success.

Although it wasn't until 1964 that Cassina began the exclusive production and worldwide distribution, the LC4 was a hit at first sight and continues to receive acclaim. Maybe it's because of its timeless comfort, which has always provided absolute, made-to-measure relaxation, or maybe it's because of its dynamic functionality, designed for quick daytime breaks that seem to be in step with the times. Or maybe it is because of its ingenious mechanism, which is still unrivalled and manages to remain simply innovative. The fact is that the LC4 chaise-longue in Cassina's I Maestri collection is one of those items of furniture that live outside of space and time: unique, inimitable (yet much copied), and highly celebrated, it combines functionality and aesthetics to perfection and, almost 90 years on, maintains its originality intact.
