3 Fauteuil Grand Confort, grand modèle, Outdoor
- Description
- Designer Bio
With the iconic 3 Fauteuil Grand Confort, grand
modèle - outdoor design armchair, the concept of modernity enforces a
separation between the metal support structure and the upholstered elements,
reminiscent of the architectural relationship between the concrete skeleton and
in-fill paneling.
The four cushions are set inside a tubular
steel cage that forms the primary support for the piece in all its variations,
from the armchair with armrests to the two- and three-seat outdoor sofas.
Suited to all outdoor settings, the structure
is in stainless steel finished with a special textured paint that comes in
several colors. The cushions are upholstered in water-repellent fabric to
ensure maximum durability and reliability in all weather conditions.

Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand |
In 1922, Le Corbusier began working in the new rue de
Sèvres, Paris, atelier with his cousin Pierre Jeanneret with whom he shared
research projects and design criteria in a profound and life-long professional
relationship. In October 1927, the pair decided to draw on the
contribution of a young architect who had already begun to establish a
reputation on the architectural scene of the time: Charlotte Perriand. Their collaboration lasted through to 1937 and was
extremely fruitful, especially in the field of furniture design. The
partnership was highly significant, both in terms of the cultural weight of
their achievements and their professional successes. It was together with Charlotte Perriand that the pair
tackled the innovative project for “l’équipement d'intérieur de
l’habitation”. The resulting designs were of great intellectual value
and considerable commercial success. Thanks to Cassina’s ongoing production, there is
continued interest in the conceptual contents of the work and the level of
quality attained.
Due to these characteristics, each item in the
collection is eagerly awaited. |
