LC7 Le Corbusier – Cassina

An icon with a versatile and functional soul, the LC7 was designed in 1927 by Charlotte Perriand for her own apartment in the Place Saint-Sulpice in Paris. First exhibited at the 1928 Salon des Artistes Décorateurs, it was also shown at the Salon d’Automne one year later, where it formed part of a collection that Charlotte Perriand co-created with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret. Upholstered in leather or fabric, this swivel chair, available in a four- or five-leg configuration, features expanded polyurethane and padded polyester filling for back and seat. The outdoor version is in stainless steel, in this case with polyester upholstery that replicates the looks of the indoor version. In 2016, the structure of the LC7 was updated and this led to its obtaining Italian CATAS certification.
