LC4 Le Corbusier Noire Brown Leather Chaise Lounge for Cassina
Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret & Charlotte Perriand for Cassina
Dark brown leather LC4 Noire chaise lounge with black leather bolster pillow on black tubular steel and black steel base by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand for Cassina. Signed and inscribed on the base and the chaise.
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 lifelong professional relationship. In October 1927, the pair drew on the contribution of a young architect already establishing a reputation: Charlotte Perriand. Their collaboration lasted through 1937 and was extremely fruitful, especially in furniture design.
Together with Perriand, the pair tackled the innovative project for "l'équipement d'intérieur de l'habitation." The resulting designs were of great intellectual value and considerable commercial success. Thanks to Cassina's ongoing production, there is continued interest in the conceptual content of the work and the level of quality attained.
Note: the seat pad is a dark brown (close to black, but not black) and the bolster support cushion is black — this is a two-tone piece. Cassina has confirmed the leather seat and bolster are both by Cassina. Colors may display differently depending on your device.
