Armchair designed by le corbusier, pierre jeanneret, charlotte perriand in 1928. Manufactured by cassina in italy. Timeless, unique, and profoundly authentic, the lc2 armchair has played a role in the history of furniture design, becoming a worldwide icon.

The separation of metal frame from upholstery expresses the rationalist approach, this same separation responds to the logic of industrial manufacture, while also evoking the architectural relationship between the load-bearing structure and the walls. The balance between form and function derives form an in-depth study of human posture human body and through the use of the modulor, a system based on the typical measurements of the male body and on a mathematical language informed by the proportions of universal harmony.

The partnership was highly significant, both in terms of the cultural weight of their achievements and their professional successes.
