“A masterpiece of rationalist design: the LC2 sofa by Le Corbusier, Jeanneret, and Perriand for Cassina

Today we present a piece that revolutionised the concept of seating in the 20th century: the LC2 sofa, designed in 1928 by three brilliant minds — Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand. This sofa is not just a piece of furniture, but a manifesto of rationalism, an icon of style and functionality.

The innovation behind the LC2 design:The LC2 subverted traditional sofa design conventions by exposing its external chrome steel frame — a mark of elegance and refinement. The separation between frame and cushions reflects the logic of rationalism, where form follows function.

Unique features of this object: This particular sofa offered at auction stands out for the following:

Excellent condition: The padding and powder pink leather upholstery are like new with no flaws to report. The chrome frame shows only minor signs of use. The support straps are solid and taut.

Premium materials: The chrome steel frame and high-quality leather upholstery give the sofa a timeless elegance.

Authenticity: The frame features the Cassina production serial number “LC2 11486” stamped directly into the frame, guaranteeing the piece's authenticity.

Distinctive colour: The leather in this elegant and delicate beige/powder-pink shade corresponds to NCS colour chart code S 2020-Y20R.

The story of a design icon: Born from the collaboration of three visionary architects, the LC2 is the archetype of modern seating — designed to meet the needs of the human body. First produced in the 1930s by Thonet and later by Cassina, it has become a landmark in design history.

Cassina: a hallmark of Italian excellence: Founded in 1927, Cassina is a company that helped define Italian design. Through collaborations with top architects and designers, Cassina has created iconic pieces that shaped the history of furniture.

An investment in design and history: Acquiring this LC2 sofa means owning a design masterpiece — a piece that continues to inspire and captivate”.

2. Great photos matter

Photos are the first thing bidders see – so make them count! We recommend including at least 7  high-quality images that clearly show the condition and details of your object. This helps bidders make informed decisions and increases your chances of a successful sale. 

Your photos should include:

For all submissions:

• Full front, back, top, bottom, and side angles
• Close-ups of labels, marks, signatures or important details
• Any flaws or damage (if applicable). 

For grouped submissions:

• Group photos and individual shots

Additional images by object type:

• For most furniture objects, a relatively low angle is optimal. Please do not take all photos from above. 
• We generally do not accept photos that are taken outdoors, except for outdoor furniture. 

Tip: Avoid photos with people, selfies, or screenshots. Use a neutral background (white or black), avoid low-quality or stock images, and aim for natural lighting. Find here more tips on how to take professional photos.

📌 Examples of good vs. bad photos:

• Well-lit objects in a clear, neutral space at an ideal angle show the object in an optimal way to attract bidders, while poorly lit objects photographed too closely in a cluttered room are unlikely to catch their attention.

3. Additional proof of authenticity

For exclusive and high-value furniture (€1500+) or accessories (€1000+), we may request:


✔ Proof of provenance (e.g. receipts, catalogues, documentation)
✔ Evidence of designer attribution (labels, serial numbers, original manufacturer)
✔ Supporting materials such as books, posters or exhibition references

📌 Examples of high-value objects:

For exclusive, rare, limited-edition objects:

✔ Only authenticated signatures or markings are accepted
 Must be verified by the original producer or a reputable third party
✔ Other proof may be accepted at our discretion (e.g., photos of signing event)

X No unverified signatures or limited markings without authentication
