The 'LC1' has a timeless appeal, originally presented by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand in 1929, the chair draws upon colonial styles for inspiration and is defined by a hairy skin seat and a chrome frame created from a blueprint that is based on measurements derived from the Modulor. The result is this supremely comfortable seat, produced by Cassina, that seamlessly combines form and function to create a piece that is suited to relaxation in a variety of environments. The chair’s LC-Y leather and trivalent chromium plating hold Greenguard Environmental Institute certification.

Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, known as Le Corbusier, was born at La Chaux-de-Fonds, in Switzerland, in 1887; he died in France, in 1965.

The multi-talented Le Corbusier was at the same time a painter, architect, designer and writer, he is now recognised as one of the most influential architects of 20th century design.
