or Call to Order

Le Corbusier, Char­lotte Perriand and Pierre Jean­neret exhib­ited the first version of the LC10 at the 1929 Salon d’Automne in Paris, as part of the Equipement Intérieur d’une Habi­ta­tion” setting. The design, which was orig­i­nally presented as a writing-desk, was revis­ited by Perriand in 1984 and relaunched Cassina one year later, with new vari­ants appro­pri­ate to contem­po­rary needs. It’s clean-cut frame high­lights the highly orig­i­nal approach to the chrome finish of the tubular steel legs and how the colors are applied on the lami­nated trim. The collec­tion includes a dining table and low tables, both in square and rectan­gu­lar formats. The colored trim is supplied in a variety of shades from the Corbusier palette. Outdoor versions are also avail­able exclu­sively for the low tables (47 – 1/4“X 31 – 1/2″ and 27 – 1/2″ x 27 – 1/2″). A stain­less steel struc­ture finished with powder paints designed for outdoor use and avail­able in five textured colors.

France

In 1922, Le Corbusier began working in the new rue de Sèvres, Paris, atelier with his cousin Pierre Jeanneret with whom he shared research projects and design criteria in a profound and life-long professional relationship. 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”.
