About the item
The LC4 Chaise Longue is one of the most recognizable pieces of furniture in the history of modern design. The flowing form follows the body and creates an exceptionally comfortable reclining position, while the pony skin gives this piece a warm and characterful appearance.
About design and history
The LC4 was designed in 1928 as a true “machine à repos”. The curved reclining surface rests freely on the base and can be easily shifted to assume various sitting and reclining positions. This combination of ergonomics, technical clarity, and sculptural elegance made the LC4 an icon of modernism.
About the designer and maker
The design resulted from the collaboration between Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand . Perriand's innovative vision on interior design and ergonomics, in particular, played a significant role in this furniture collection. This piece features the original signature and a serial number.
About fitness
This vintage LC4 is in exceptionally beautiful condition and is virtually indistinguishable from new. The pony hair is beautifully preserved. An exceptionally fresh example of an absolute design classic.
