LC7: An icon of modern design in an exclusive limited edition from the '80s

Born from the visionary collaboration of Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand in their Parisian atelier, the LC collection revolutionized the concept of furniture. In this context of innovation, the LC7, designed by the talented Charlotte Perriand, established itself as a cutting-edge seat. This particular version, belonging to a limited edition from the 1980s, further enhances its historical and collectible value.
First presented at the Salon d'automne in Paris in 1929, the LC series (LC1-LC10) marked a turning point in furniture design. The LC7, with its essential functional design, is a prime example.
As a testament to its importance in the history of design, this chair is celebrated in modern art museums around the world.
The enveloping shape of the backrest, a result of innovative experimentation, the swivel seat, and the legs with a functional design are distinctive elements of the LC7.

Timeless elegance and innovative functionality merge in the iconic seat presented at auction, a rare limited edition from the 1980s, characterized by a structure in black lacquered steel that emphasizes its modernity, and a seat upholstered in fine blue leather, a unique and distinctive style detail.
Its excellent condition guarantees a purchase of great value: the structure is solid, intact, and in perfect order; the upholstery offers optimal comfort; and the leather covering is in impeccable condition.
The chassis number under the seat attests to its uniqueness within this exclusive production.
