Chaise Longue LC4 – Designed by Le Corbusier for Cassina

We are presenting at auction the famous LC4, defined by its creators as the true "resting machine". Designed in 1928 by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand and subsequently produced by Cassina, it is considered one of the most important design icons of the 20th century. This elegant version is offered with sophisticated cognac leather upholstery, which enhances the essential lines of the design and highlights its timeless character.

The LC4 originated from the idea of creating a seat perfectly adaptable to the human body, capable of naturally following different resting positions. The chromed steel tubular structure, resting on an independent base, allows the cradle to slide and recline freely, offering exceptional comfort. The balance between ergonomic research, technical innovation, and formal purity makes this project one of the finest examples of modern rationalism.

Condition

The chaise longue is in excellent overall condition. The steel structure has been recently cleaned and polished and maintains its solidity. The elastic straps are still perfectly taut, ensuring proper seating comfort. The cognac leather mattress is in excellent condition, with slight signs of use consistent with its age; it has also been cleaned, sanitized, and treated with professional products to preserve its softness and finish. Its originality is guaranteed by Le Corbusier's signature and the identification code punched into the structure.
