Cassina Armchairs

Italian

Furniture manufacturer Cassina is a prolific design house for more reasons than one: It not only owns the licenses to an exquisite collection of iconic chairs, sofas, tables and other pieces from the 20th and 21st centuries but also produces original works that are characterized by innovation and the finest Italian craftsmanship.

Cassina’s illustrious legacy includes being one of the first companies to bring industrial design to Italy in the 1950s. Founded in 1927 in Meda, Italy, by brothers Cesare and Umberto Cassina, the Italian manufacturing giant originally specialized in bespoke woodworking. In nearly a century since its founding, the company has shown incredible foresight about design trends and the evolution of technology.

In 1964, Cassina signed an exclusive licensing agreement to manufacture furniture by Le Corbusier and his collaborators — such as the LC4 chaise longue made with trailblazing French modernist Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret — a move that would shape the future of the company. Cassina’s I Maestri collection is an ongoing initiative to restyle landmark designs from the 20th century, such as pieces by Gerrit Rietveld (the Red and Blue armchair from 1918), Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Erik Gunnar Asplund, Franco Albini and Frank Lloyd Wright. The company preserves the intentions and original styles of their designs but adds updated techniques, materials and processes — rendering them the best possible combination of past, present and future. The brand has also worked with contemporary icons like Zaha Hadid, Gio Ponti and Philippe Starck.

Cassina’s original designs are cutting-edge as well. They include pieces for everyday use, the development of which is guided by comfort and the marriage of Italian craftsmanship with industrial technology.

Some of Cassina’s pieces, both from its contemporary and I Maestri collections, can be found in the collections of museums like the Museum of Modern Art and the Vitra Design Museum. In 2014, the company became part of Haworth in its acquisition of Italian furniture group Poltrona Frau, and in 2015, Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola joined Cassina as its art director, leading the brand into its next century of inventive style.

Pair of Early Production 'LC3' Lounge Chairs by Le Corbusier for Cassina, Signed
By Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Cassina, Charlotte Perriand
Located in Los Angeles, CA
If you want the most comfortable and sizable club chair to sink your heinie into, this authentic (signed) set of Le Corbusier for Cassina LC3's are the chairs for you (and of course, your heinie). Large and in-charge, the 'LC3 - Grand Modèle' is the pinnacle in living grand; grand in style and grand in comfort and substantially wider than the LC2 variation of similar design. Ideal collectors pieces, this set of matched armchairs are signed with early production AI (Atelier International) labels and stamped on the frames with Cassina production details and are sought after examples of this design for collectors and interior designers alike. *Note, we had a set of four chairs but have sold one. Currently we have 3 chairs available, this listing is priced for one pair of chairs however we do have a third available available for purchase separately. The LC3 was designed in 1928 by Le Corbusier; his cousin and colleague Pierre Jeanneret; and Charlotte Perriand. Produced by Cassina from 1965 to 2011 and early production models, such as the examples in this listing, distributed by AI (Atelier International), this set retains their original AI labels and are signed on the frames as shown in the photographs with Cassina's logo and production number embossing. This style of signature is unique to the earlier years of the design and therefore this set is much more collectible and valuable to collectors and art / design investors than newer examples. Incredible light attractive patina on the thick, supple and high-quality cream / warm beige or tan / almost egg nog...
