About the Item

Pair of "Peglev" armchairs by Michel Arnoult, c. 1950s. Born in Paris, Arnoult helped to pioneer the ready-to-assemble furniture movement in Brazil, leaving behind a legacy as a design icon. His pieces reflect his eternal search for the minimization of production costs and industrial processes, offering quality, and easy-to-assemble furniture. His attention to materiality, comfort, and simple, elegant lines are his legacy. This particular pair of sling chairs is most likely constructed of Brazilian imbuia hardwood, or Brazilian walnut, a wood typically found in Arnoult's furniture. The frames have been professionally restored while the original leather has been cleaned and conditioned, but allowed to remain full of age, use and patina. The pair is fairly uncommon and a fine example of Arnault's work and of the period. They feel equally French Modernist, as they do Brazilian, and would be an excellent addition to a Coastal or Midcentury Modern interior. 22”W x 20.75”D x 30.63”H with 23.88”H arms and 17.75”H seats To top of leather at backs: 29.25”H Note: Casters are removable by request prior to shipping

Corbusier LC1 Sling Lounge Chairs in Hair-On-Hide Leather, A Pair
By Pierre Jeanneret, Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand Cassina, Cassina
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. The chairs have a compact silhouette, with hair-on-hide sling seats and tilting backrests, with armrests in matching leather. Timeless classics, these chairs looks as modern today as they did in 1928, making them the perfect addition to any contemporary living space. Cassina re-issued the chairs in 1965, and we attribute the production to Cassina, but cannot guarantee the producer because they are not marked. The proportions and quality of production are of a very high level. These are in very nice original vintage condition; there are some worn areas to the leather. 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. Le Corbusier was born in 1887 as Charles Edouard Jeanneret. He began experimenting with furniture design in 1928 after seeing a model apartment designed by the architect Charlotte Perriand, whom he invited to join his studio. 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...
