Product description
The Fauteuil à Dossier Basculant (LC1), designed in 1928 by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand, represents the perfect combination of architectural clarity and human comfort. With its minimalist tubular steel frame and elegantly suspended leather seat, the LC1 embodies the radical beauty of early modernism—where structure and proportion are paramount.
Created for the 1929 Paris Salon d’Automne, the LC1 was designed as a “seating machine,” a functional, perfectly balanced piece of furniture that reflected the modernist quest for purity and proportion. Produced by Cassina as part of the official Le Corbusier Collection, the design has become a timeless symbol of modern living—elegant in its simplicity, enduring in its appeal.
This particular example is a particularly beautiful vintage piece, distinguished by the beautifully patinated black leather that testifies to its age and authenticity. The natural wear gives the chair warmth and depth, enhancing its sculptural presence without compromising its integrity. The reclining backrest still functions smoothly, maintaining the chair's renowned balance between form and relaxation.
The LC1 is ideal as a focal point in a modern living room, study, or gallery-style space and remains one of the most refined and timeless designs of the 20th century—an object of art and comfort in equal measure.
The chair is in very good vintage condition, with beautifully patinated black leather and minor signs of wear commensurate with its age. The original markings/serial number are present.
