5 Canapé, Appartement le Corbusier

Comfortable, contemporary lines distinguish this sofa designed by Le Corbusier for his Paris apartment, where the original model is still preserved – the one that inspired a lengthy re-edition process carried out by Cassina.

In 1974, Charlotte Perriand collaborated in the first reworking of the original, in one size only, with chrome finish. Over the years, the finishes have been expanded and the sizes modified.

The comfortable, elegant structure is dominated by feather-filled cushions that form the backrest and seat, supported by an instantly recognizable metal base available in the seven collection colours. The current two- or three-seat edition comes with leather or fabric upholstery. This model is part of the Le Corbusier®, Pierre Jeanneret®, Charlotte Perriand® Collection.

About Designer
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.
