LC2 three-seater sofa by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand for Cassina

The LC2 sofa, an icon of 20th-century design, is presented in this auction in its most classic and sought-after form: polished chrome steel frame and high-quality black leather upholstery.

Design and history:

This model, created in 1928, revolutionized the concept of seating by proposing a rationalist aesthetic:

External structure: the distinctive feature of the LC2 is its external "cage", a steel frame that supports the upholstered cushions, enhancing the purity of its lines.

Vision: the history of the LC2 is linked to Le Corbusier's vision, who conceived furniture as "domestic equipment", functional objects capable of perfectly adapting to the needs of the human body.

Innovation: the clear separation between the load-bearing structure and the upholstered elements underlines the principles of modernism and uncompromising comfort.

Lot conditions:

The three-seater model in this auction is in excellent condition, testament to the very high quality of the materials.

Frame: the steel frame is intact and robust and maintains its original sheen thanks to a recent cleaning and polishing.

Upholstery: the tobacco-colored leather is perfect, like new, without any defects or stains.
