Corbusier LC1 Sling Lounge Chairs in Hair-On-Hide Leather, A Pair
By Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand Cassina, Cassina, Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret
Located in Round Top, TX
Now known as the 1 Fauteuil Dossier Basculant, the LC1 chair was originally introduced at the Salon d’Automne in 1928 by the designers Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand. Since then, the LC1 chair has become one of the most iconic furniture designs of the 20th Century, with Cassina taking on production of the piece in 1965. Constructed from a chromed steel frame, the chairs have been ergonomically designed using a system based on the measurements of the human body to ensure ultimate support and comfort.

They will be wonderful seating in a living room, as occasional seating in the family room, in your bedroom or dressing area, or facing the fireplace in the study.

His cousin, Pierre Jeanneret, also collaborated on many of his designs and Thonet was the first manufacturer of his designs in the 1930’s. Along with Walter Gropius, Mies Van der Rohe, and Theo Van Doesburg, Le Corbusier is often considered the father of Modernism. He created a range of chairs that express his ideas, most of which have become classics. The Le Corbusier Basculant...
