An Italian and French Design Chair: The Story of the LC7 Between Paris and Cassina
Published
The LC7 swivel armchair is one of the most famous design objects of the twentieth century. It was designed in 1927 by Le Corbusier together with Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand, three leading figures of modern architecture who worked in the same studio in Paris.
The chair has a tubular steel frame, which allows it to rotate on its base, and a seat in leather or fabric. Its design is simple and practical, and this keeps it relevant today. For this reason, the LC7 is often found in homes, offices and museums around the world.
Production of the LC7 is entrusted to Cassina, an Italian furniture company from Meda, in Brianza, known internationally for the quality of its furnishings. Cassina is responsible for making and distributing the modern versions of the chair, which are sold in specialist shops and on online sales sites. The price varies depending on the model, the materials and the seller.
In conclusion, the LC7 remains an example of how a project born almost a hundred years ago can still interest the market. For those living in Italy, the case is interesting because it combines an international design classic with Italian manufacturing tradition.
