- Description
- Designer Bio
Iconic, original, ageless. Created in 1928 and
exhibited at the Paris Salon d’Automne in 1929, Chaise longue à reglage continu
embodies the relationship between form and function in the balance between
design purity and comfort.
Starting with the analysis of lounge chairs and
the proportions inferred by Le Corbusier in the Modulor, the chaise longue
embodies the concept of comfort in the shape of the seat, which is modeled on
the natural contours of the body.
The recliner in trivalent chrome plated steel,
is angled to promote relaxation and its stability is ensured through friction
with the rubber tubes that sheathe the crosspieces on the base. Upholstered in
fabric, leather or hair-on leather.

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. |
