2 Fauteuil Grand Confort
- Description
- Designer Bio
A timeless style that has written its own
chapter in design history, becoming an icon of global fame. Perfect today in
any residential or contract setting.
Designed for ease of conversation, the armchair
was exhibited in 1929 at the Salon d’Automne in Paris as the archetype of the
modern concept in furnishings, interpreted by its authors as “household
equipment”.
The separation between the metal structure and the
cushions is consistent with the principles of Rationalism, just as the
separation between the parts is based on an industrial approach to production,
reminiscent of the architectural relationship between the loadbearing structure
and the in-fill elements.

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. |
