They are notoriously known as "the ultimate relaxing machine." A replica LC4, Chaise longue with a leather seat marked, "Made in Italy". With minor wear to the structural build, these seem to be a tad more authentically reproduced than the lower-quality modern remakes. Both are marked with "paper" labels, one label more worn than the other, but still visible.
The LC4 Chaise Lounge is an iconic piece of modernist design, celebrated for its form and comfort. Designed with a focus on ergonomics, it features a sleek, adjustable frame that perfectly cradles the body, allowing for ultimate relaxation. The tubular steel frame, combined with a comfortable, padded leather or fabric seat, creates a minimalist yet luxurious aesthetic that fits seamlessly into a variety of interior styles. Ideal for living spaces, offices, or lounges, the LC4 offers timeless elegance and functionality, making it a must-have for any modern design enthusiast.
The base of the LC4 is typically cast from black coated steel that has a matte finish and is fixed. The frame, made of chromed tubular steel is bent, put together and balanced on top of the stationary base. Sitting on its base frame, it allows for comfort and relaxation in multiple positions.
The long cushion sits on multiple elastic straps.
Some research suggests that screw-holes were indeed present on the underside of the frames of certain LC4 chaise lounge replicas, though the exact reason is not widely documented. These screw holes may have been added in replicas for practical purposes, such as securing the upholstery or stabilizing the frame during assembly. In contrast, authentic versions (which is unlikely to be commonly found), designed by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand may have avoided such visible elements to maintain the sleek, seamless appearance that is characteristic of the original design. The presence of screw-holes in replicas could therefore reflect manufacturing variations.
