About This Piece

Vintage Design

The iconic LC4 adjustable chaise longue by Cassina, Italy, is crafted in a classic design with a chrome-plated tubular steel frame, a black lacquered steel base, and an elastic reclining surface made of rubber-coated steel springs, complemented by a loose black leather cushion. The smoothly curved shape of the reclining surface precisely follows the contours of the body and can be infinitely adjusted, creating the characteristic floating sensation and exceptional comfort. The combination of materials—gleaming chrome-plated tubular steel, technically inspired springs, and soft leather upholstery—perfectly embodies the functional luxury of classic modernism. The rubber-coated elastic springs, the sewn-in Cassina label, and the absence of an engraved serial number indicate that this is an original Cassina production from the 1970s or early 1980s. In Switzerland, this model was frequently sold through Wohnbedarf.

The LC4 was designed by Le Corbusier in collaboration with Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand. Developed in 1928, this design is considered one of the most important chaise longues of the 20th century and exemplifies the designers' approach of conceiving furniture strictly from the perspective of the human body and its movements. The LC4 was intentionally designed as a relaxation machine and combines technical precision with timeless elegance.

Condition: Good to very good used condition with age-related wear. The leather displays a beautiful, even patina with slight creases and pressure marks, but no tears. The chrome plating shows only very minor signs of age and use; overall, it is in very well-maintained and authentic original condition. The construction is stable, and all functions are fully intact.

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.
