Cassina Settees

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.

Early Production Leather 'LC3' Two-Seat Sofa by Le Corbusier for Cassina, Signed

By Pierre Jeanneret, Le Corbusier, Cassina, Charlotte Perriand

Located in Los Angeles, CA

If you want the most comfortable and cushioned sofa to sink your heinie into, this Le Corbusier for Cassina (signed) LC3 is the sofa 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 two-seat loveseat sofa is signed with the early production stamped (embossed) frame with Cassina production details and is a sought after example of this design for collectors and interior designers alike. 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 example in this listing, and is signed on the frame as shown in the photographs with Cassina embossed model number and production numbers along with the Cassina logo decal, this style of embossing and decal is the earlier variation of how Cassina signed the frames. Incredible light attractive patina on the thick, supple and high-quality black leather cushions which are wrapped by tubular chrome frames, this fantastic extra-wide 'LC3' settee sofa is suitable for interior designers and their most demanding collector clients. The gorgeous light leather patina adds a laid-back casualness ideal for those who love aged leather and the warmth that age provides in their home. *Note* We also have two matching LC3 armchairs available, listed together as a pair but can also be sold individually, see our storefront by clicking on 'view more from this seller' or contact us for more details. This elegant and sophisticated LC3 couch by Cassina would work great in a Mid-Century Modern, Scandanavian Modern or Danish modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Post-Modern room. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an Apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office. More About the Design (From Cassina's website): The LC3, historically known as the Fauteuil Grand Confort, was designed in 1928 by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand as part of their revolutionary interiors project. The first prototypes were made to furnish Villa Church, owned by an American couple living in Paris, and the next year a selection was displayed – with much scandal - at the Salon d’Automne at the Grand Palais. Each architect had designed a specific version for the exhibit, the production of which they personally financed, based on their individual ideas and tastes. Their final choice was to show the Le Corbusier version. Following the exhibition the three architects took their personal prototypes home: Charlotte Perriand to her apartment in Montparnasse, Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret to rue Jacob...
