Fauteuil a dossier basculant (LC1) in brown leather, set of 2

The Fauteuil à dossier basculant (LC1), designed in 1928 by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand, represents the perfect union of architectural clarity and human comfort. With its minimalist tubular steel frame and elegantly suspended leather seat, the LC1 captures the radical beauty of early modernism — where structure and proportion take center stage.

Created for the 1929 Salon d’Automne in Paris, the LC1 was conceived as a “machine for sitting”, a functional, perfectly balanced piece that reflected the modernist pursuit of purity and proportion. Produced by Cassina as part of the official Le Corbusier Collection, the design has become a timeless emblem of modern living, elegant in its simplicity, enduring in its appeal.

This set of two is a particularly elegant vintage example, upholstered in rich brown leather with a gentle, natural patina that adds warmth and authenticity without overpowering the design. The surfaces remain beautifully preserved, showing only light signs of age. Both chairs retain their precise geometry and smooth functionality, reflecting the enduring craftsmanship of the original design.

Ideal as a pair in a reading corner, living space, or office, these LC1 chairs exemplify timeless modernism, functional art that transcends eras.

The chairs are in very good vintage condition, featuring beautiful brown leather and minor signs of use consistent with age. Comes with original markings/serial number.
