LC2 Armchair
-
Product Description
A timeless classic, one that made design history. Designed in 1928, the LC2 is the archetype of the modern armchair. It pioneered the concept of structure as decoration — an innovative idea that made virtue out of the sparse materials available in post-war Europe as well as the burgeoning desire for modernity. The clean lines of the frame are offset by the wonderfully plump cushions — a generous gesture that lends the sense of barely-contained softness.

In 1922, Le Corbusier began working in the new rue de Sèvres, Paris, atelier with his cousin Pierre Jeanneret with whom he shared research projects and design criteria in a profound and life-long professional relationship.
In October 1927, the pair decided to draw on the contribution of a young architect who had already begun to establish a reputation on the architectural scene of the time - Charlotte Perriand.
Their collaboration lasted through to 1937 and was extremely fruitful, especially in the field of furniture design. The partnership was highly significant, both in terms of the cultural weight of their achievements and their professional successes.
Cassina is an outstanding Italian furniture brand with a long history of fusing technological skill with traditional craftsmanship. They are widely recognised as the first designer furniture brand to launch what is now known as industrial design; a movement which saw architects and designers working side by side to envision fresh, functional and stylish designs for the modern home. They have worked with and helped propel the careers of designers such as Hannes Wettstein, Philippe Starck and Piero Lissoni and are known worldwide for their passionate carpentry. Chaplins prides itself on its vast collection of timeless furniture classics and current must-haves from Cassina.
