A light, compact chair originally designed and presented at the 1929 Salon d’Automne, the Cassina 1 Fauteuil Dossier Basculant Armchair derives from an in-depth study of human posture. Ergonomically constructed to provide the utmost comfort, the balance between form and function is achieved through the use of the Modulor, a system based on the typical measurements of the male body and on a mathematical language informed by the proportions of universal harmony. Combining a robust yet rich metal frame with soft to the touch leather, it is the ideal lounge chair to relax in after a long day, supplementing a touch of style and substance to your home whether utilised as a stand-alone piece or as part of a set.
Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret produced some of the most iconic designs of the modernist age. First coming together in the 1920s, the three would work together until the Second World War saw the group disbanded.
Perriand’s name is one that is synonymous with some of the key industrial designs of the 20th Century, while the historical legacy of Le Corbusier’s work is of undisputed importance. Le Corbusier, together with his cousin Pierre Jeanneret and Perriand presented new concepts of furniture at the Salon d'Automne in Paris in 1929. That collection of iconic furniture has not dated in the slightest, and still fits perfectly with the modern home today.
