Chair designed by le corbusier, pierre jeanneret, charlotte perriand in 1928. Relaunched in 2019. Manufactured by cassina in italy. A light, compact chair designed and presented at the 1929 salon d’automne along with other important models, such as the lc2 and lc3 armchairs, the lc6 table and the lc4 chaise-longue. As with all of le corbusier’s works, the lc1 derives from an in-depth study of human posture. In this particular case, the chair is intended to be relaxing and to foster conversation. The balance between form and function is achieved 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. Its perfect compositional simplicity, which can be adapted for use in various contexts, is now available in an outdoor version, treated with a special textured paint in five colours and with a collection of specially designed covers.

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. It was together with charlotte perriand that 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. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
