About the Item

Hello Friends, and welcome to another unmissable offering from Lord Browns Furniture, the UK's premier resource for Fine Sofas and Chairs. On offer on this occasion is a rare pair of identical "LC1" armchairs from the world renown Italian furniture house, Cassina. As you will no doubt be aware by your interest in this modern-masterpiece, Cassina pieces are the epitome of contemporary European furniture design, are of Peerless quality, and exhibit detailing and execution of an unrivalled standard. In a world of temporary pleasures, Cassina create beautiful furniture that remains a joy forever. Dressed in the most stunning and tactile high-grade "Ponyskin" leather option in an elegant, timeless Black, with polished-chrome framework. The hide is easily recognised as being of Peerless quality with it being as robust and hard-wearing as rhino skin, whilst its softness and texture is simply divine to the touch. This pair of Armchairs is in pristine, immaculately-maintained condition, having seen light, infrequent use in its previous home, and is entirely free from fault, flaw or damage. Its handsome order reflects the TLC and considerate use afforded it in the past and, aside from the odd light, superficial mark to the leather and frame, it is as well-presented as is possible to imagine. For the avoidance of doubt, please view the numerous images provided to confirm its superb condition and appearance. In its current state, this suite would meet the requirements of all but the most-particular of buyers and, for someone looking for a suite of high-design to position at the heart of their space, it is truly heaven sent! This superb suite possesses all the beauty and majesty you would hope for from some of the finest contemporary furniture money can buy. Dimensions-wise, each chairs measurements are H-58cm, W-60cm and D-64cm, and the breathtaking seating position this iconic Classic-design creates is enhanced by the use of sumptuously comfortable, generously-upholstered composite back and seat cushioning, which leaves you powerless to resist its charms. Not only do they possess an aesthetic to die for, but they seat beautifully too. Costing close-to £5,000 when new, this suite represents spectacular value for money, and we have no doubt it will serve and delight its new owner for many years to come. Delivery of this chair to most UK mainland addresses will cost £135, and can be organised on behalf of the winning bidder upon request using one of our hand-picked panel of specialist, fully-insured independent furniture couriers.

Cassina

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.
