Description from the seller
Armchair 'LC2' in Black Fabric and Chrome Steel by Le Corbusier, Jeanneret, and Perriand for Cassina
An icon of 20th-century design, the 'LC2' armchair is presented in this auction in its most classic and sought-after form: a structure made of shiny chrome-plated steel and upholstered in high-quality black fabric. This model, born from the collaboration between Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand in 1928, revolutionized the concept of seating.
Design and History
The defining feature of the LC2 armchair is its external structure, a steel frame that supports the upholstered cushions. This design, innovative for its time, highlights the purity of the lines and the meticulous craftsmanship of the steel, giving the armchair a timeless elegance.
Innovation: The separation between the structure and the cushions, a clear reference to the principles of rationalism, emphasizes functionality and comfort.
Vision: The history of the LC2 is closely linked to Le Corbusier's vision, who conceived furniture as 'domestic equipment', functional and comfortable objects capable of adapting to human needs.
Conditions of the Lot
The lot presented at auction consists of a Cassina-produced armchair and is in excellent used condition:
The steel structure is intact and robust, maintaining its original shine thanks to recent cleaning and polishing.
The elastic straps, essential for seat comfort, are still well taut, ensuring optimal support.
Cover: The cushion padding is solid and compact. The black fabric cover is perfect and shows no signs of wear, highlighting the charm of this design masterpiece.
Authenticity: Authenticity is guaranteed by the punched code from Cassina present on the structure, by the Cassina-logoed cushions, and by the original guarantee certificate.
