or Call to Order

Cassi­na’s LC3 Grande Confort seating series includes a club chair and two and three-seat sofas. The Grand Confort is perhaps the most iconic collec­tion of seating ever created and, accord­ingly, one of the most copied. Char­lotte Perriand referred to the LC2 and LC3 seating as cushion baskets. Their squared and recti­lin­ear forms feature an exte­rior perime­ter of tubular steel rails into which recti­lin­ear cush­ions are inserted to pad the inte­rior. The LC3 club chair frame is avail­able in several enamel finishes and chromed steel. Its foam-filled cush­ions feature a choice of poly­ester or down padding and are avail­able in many textile and leather uphol­stery options. For quick-ship options, please see the spec sheet to the left or call 800.886.0867 for details.

Le Corbusier, Perriand, Jeanneret

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”.
