About This Piece

Vintage Design

Iconic LC2 sofa, designed in 1928 by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand, and produced by Cassina, one of the absolute manifestos of 20th-century modern design and a timeless symbol of the Modern Movement.
The LC2 model was conceived as a radical expression of the concept of the “machine for sitting,” where function is brought to its highest formal clarity.
The visible tubular metal supporting frame, here in the classic black finish, envelops and contains the upholstered volumes like a true architectural exoskeleton. It is a clear design statement: the structure is not hidden but becomes language, graphic sign and spatial frame.
The independent seat, backrest and armrest cushions define a modular system of pure volumes, visually suspended within the metal cage. This solution, revolutionary for its time, introduced an unprecedented sense of rational comfort: welcoming yet rigorous, generous yet controlled. The result is a perfect balance between ergonomics, proportion and geometric abstraction.
The proposed example is upholstered in original Cassina fabric with a multicolored geometric pattern, a refined and less common choice compared to the leather versions, which enhances the decorative and graphic character of the project without betraying its modernist essence. The vibrant yet harmonious pattern dialogues with the metal structure, creating an intellectual contrast between industrial rigor and textile sensitivity, perfectly coherent with Charlotte Perriand’s vision.
Produced by Cassina as part of the renowned “Le Corbusier®, Pierre Jeanneret®, Charlotte Perriand®” collection, the LC2 sofa is manufactured according to the highest quality standards, with absolute attention to materials, original proportions and construction details. Every element faithfully respects the historic design, making this sofa not merely a piece of furniture, but an object of design culture.
Exhibited in the most important museums worldwide and featured in countless iconic interiors, the LC2 is today considered a timeless classic, capable of transcending eras and styles: from rationalism to minimalism, from modernist interiors to the most sophisticated contemporary spaces. Introducing it into a space means making a conscious, cultivated and definitive choice.
A sofa that does not follow trends, but created them. An absolute icon, destined to endure.

About the Maker

Cassina

Italian furniture manufacturing giant Cassina, originally named Amedeo Cassina, was founded by brothers Cesare (1909-1979) and Umberto (1910-1992) Cassina in Meda, Italy in 1927. Although initially specialized in bespoke woodworking and high-end interiors, by the 1950s the brothers took the company in a new direction, anticipating the growing demand for mass-produced home furnishings. Cassina is often credited with introducing industrial design to Italy and has built an international reputation for collaborating with some of the world’s most respected designers.

Notably, in 1964 (while famed architect Le Corbusier was still alive), Cassina signed the first exclusive licensing agreement covering the edition rights for designs by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand. The company soon after launched the I Maestri Collection which over the decades has gathered major icons of design under the Cassina brand, such as the LC4 Lounge (1928) jointly designed by Le Corbusier, Jeanneret, and Perriand, as well as Dutch architect Gerrit Rietveld’s 635 Red & Blue Armchair (1918), Scottish architect-designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Hill House Chair (1902), and many more.

With a focus more on partnering with the best designers rather than creating and maintaining a particular style, Cassina is responsible for some of the most recognized and beloved designs of the 20^th and 21^st centuries. Highlights include Italian architect-designer Gio Ponti’s Superleggera Chair (1957), German designer Konstantin Grcic’s Kanu Chair (2009), Iranian-British architect Zaha Hadid’s Zephyr Sofa (2013), and French designer Philippe Starck’s My World Sofa (2013). Throughout its visionary collaborations with both design luminaries and cutting-edge experiments with new talents, Cassina has remained dedicated to the Italian design ideals of craftsmanship and quality, and the brand continues to excel in the fusion of industrial technology and artisanal production.

Cassina’s designs are included in permanent collections the world over, such as the Museum of Modern Art (New York), Vitra Design Museum (Weil am Rhein) and London Design Museum.

Cassina is now a part of the prestigious Poltrona Frau Group.
