Designed in 1928,
the collection Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret is a family of chairs that has left its mark on the history of design. Designers
Le Corbusier,
Charlotte Perriand and
Pierre Jeanneret created an armchair, reissued by Italian manufacturer
Cassina, that perfectly expresses the rationalism characteristic of modern design. This lightweight, compact seat was presented at the Salon d'Automne alongside the iconic
2 Fauteuil Grand Confort and
3 Fauteuil Grand Confort armchairs.
1 Fauteuil Dossier Basculant is a small tilt-back armchair with a light silhouette that perfectly complements the collection alongside the
4 Chaise Longue and the Grand Confort armchair. The
1 Fauteuil Dossier Basculant is made up of a chrome-plated steel base and leather strips that design the seat. In the habit of
Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret, the
1 Fauteuil Dossier Basculantis also the result of an in-depth study of the body's posture and, in this particular case, is the perfect seat for quiet relaxation. Over time,
Cassina has specialised in finding unique and coveted high-quality raw materials such as wood or leather, and, handles them partly by hand in the traditional way
. The ingenious combination between cold, rigid steel and warm, supple leather, used on the
1 Fauteuil Dossier Basculant, marks a new play of contrasts and will in fact mark, the history of design. The structure of the
1 Fauteuil Dossier Basculant is made of high-end stainless steel, and the seat and backrest are stretched with hide or full hide leather. The armrests, meanwhile, are simply rolled up around the ends. Perfect for the living room, the
1 Fauteuil Dossier Basculant by
Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand et Pierre Jeanneret is an example of both simplicity and functionality. What's surprising about this armchair is its serious, minimalist language of form, based on a reduced, elementary geometry that paradoxically provides ultimate comfort.
