LC4 Recliner by Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand & Pierre Jeanneret for Cassina, Italy

Hardly any other piece of seating or reclining furniture in the design world can match the formal, functional and qualitative sophistication of this modern furniture archetype. Le Corbusier, who designed this lounger together with Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand and whose initials can be found in the name of the piece of furniture, researched for years until he found the final form of the LC4. Good things come to those who wait. The LC4 is an unconditionally excellently designed piece of furniture in every respect, which is immeasurably ahead of its time not only in 1928 but also today. The connection between the cubic lower frame and the oval upper frame is just as aesthetically sublime as it is ergonomically perfect and physically ingenious. The lying surface slides continuously over the base, which is why the angle of inclination can be smoothly and elegantly adjusted. The radical minimalism - not a detail too many - and the incomparable comfort - both sitting and lying down - make the LC4 an undisputed icon of modern furniture.

Few signs of wear. The lounger was purchased from Wohnbedarf in Zurich and was always owned by the original buyer. Of course, the piece of furniture has the correct identification, stamped under the traverse in the tubular steel at the top of the neck.

Tubular steel, chrome-plated and painted black, pony skin pad, neck roll made of nappa leather, upholstery springs, rubber feet and friction rollers.
