3 Fauteuil Grand Confort, grand modèle, trois place, Outdoor
Derived from the iconic Fauteuil Grand Confort,
grand modèle armchair, the sofa fashioned by Cassina and Charlotte Perriand is
the ideal synthesis of form and function. A design masterpiece, with
timeless appeal.
The separation between the loadbearing metal
structure and the cushions, reminiscent of the architectural relationship
between the concrete skeleton and the in-fill paneling, is consistent with the principles
of rationalism.
The Fauteuil Grand Confort, grand modèle family
includes a two-seat sofa, three-seat sofa and armchair with armrests or with a
single armrest, steel structure with polished chrome finish or painted in the
hues of the color palette of the collection.

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. |
