Alivar - Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand - Sofa - LC2 - Leather, Steel, Chrome

An icon of modernist design, the LC2 sofa embodies the radical vision of Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand, first conceived in 1928 and faithfully reissued by Alivar. This piece perfectly expresses the balance between geometric rigor, comfort, and architectural purity that defines 20th-century design.

Featuring a polished chrome steel frame and upholstery in high-quality black leather, the LC2’s signature construction — an external metal cage enveloping independent cushions — revolutionized the concept of modern seating. The separation between frame and padding underscores the sofa’s rationalist design philosophy, where form elegantly follows function.

This two-seater model is in very good vintage condition, with only minor signs of age to the leather. The steel structure remains intact and gleaming, recently cleaned and polished, while the elastic straps are still well tensioned, ensuring both stability and comfort. The leather upholstery retains its original suppleness and soft sheen, with the cushions bearing the Alivar brand label, a hallmark of quality Italian craftsmanship.

A timeless piece of modernist heritage, the LC2 by Alivar remains as relevant today as it was at its inception — an enduring statement of architectural elegance and refined comfort.
