Le Corbusier Armchair by Cassina

A timeless classic, one that made design history. Designed in 1928, the le corbusier Grand Comfort is the archetype of the modern armchair. It pioneered the concept of structure as decoration — an innovative idea that made virtue out of the sparse materials available in post-war Europe as well as the burgeoning desire for modernity.

Description

A timeless style has written its own chapter in design history, becoming an icon of global fame. Designed for ease of conversation, the armchair appeared at the Salon d’Automne [Autumn Salon] in Paris in 1929. It served as the archetype of modern furnishings, interpreted by its authors as “household equipment.” The design follows the principles of Rationalism, separating the metal structure and the cushions. This reflects an industrial approach to production, reminiscent of the architectural relationship between the load-bearing structure and the in-fill elements.
