Cassina LC7 armchair

The LC7 armchair, designed by Charlotte Perriand in 1927 in collaboration with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, is an absolute masterpiece of modern design. Created by Cassina—which holds the exclusive production rights—it represents a perfect balance between aesthetics, innovation, and comfort. The LC7 was born as a modern reinterpretation of 1920s office chairs: an elegant and functional swivel chair, designed to naturally accommodate the body and support a relaxed yet composed posture. Presented at the Salon d'Automne in Paris in 1929, it immediately became an icon for its innovative structure and its ability to combine essential forms and fine materials. The piece on offer features a polished chrome-plated steel frame and black leather upholstery, a combination that enhances the purity of the lines and the refined construction. The frame, stamped with the Cassina logo and production codes, testifies to the piece's authenticity. The seat swivels 360°, with an enveloping backrest consisting of a padded cylinder that ensures comfort and stability. The overall condition is excellent: the structure is intact, the chrome plating is bright, and the leather is soft and free of any significant signs of wear. Only minor signs of age are present, consistent with the natural patina of the materials. The LC7 is now exhibited in the world's most important modern art museums, including the MoMA in New York, as a symbol of rationalism and the perfect synthesis of form and function. Its relevance remains intact: an iconic chair that enhances any space, from a contemporary living room to a professional studio.
