3 Fauteuil Grand Confort, grand modèle, deux places
In the various models of Fauteuil Grand
Confort, grand modèle, the concept of modernity is expressed through the
separation between the metal support frame and the upholstered elements.
Over the years, Cassina has worked very closely
with Charlotte Perriand, her daughter Pernette and the Fondation Le Corbusier
to introduce new versions and finishes that, while reinterpreting the original
design, remain faithful to its authenticity.
The loose cushions are arranged in a painted or
chrome-plated tubular steel cage that forms the primary support for the piece
in all its variations ‒ from the armchair with one or two armrests to the two-
or three-seat sofas.

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. |
