Originally, the LC4 Chaise Longue, often hailed as the "ultimate relaxing machine," is an iconic masterpiece of modernist design. Conceived in 1928 through the collaboration of Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand, this piece is a true reflection of the radical shift in furniture design that occurred in the late 1920s. Although frequently associated with Le Corbusier, much of the design credit belongs to Charlotte Perriand, a trailblazing female designer who played a pivotal role in redefining modern interiors, particularly in Paris, a global center of art deco at the time.
This particular replica, LC4 Chaise Longue is in overall very good used condition, with the chrome having been carefully cleaned to restore its luster, and the vinyl seat & headrest are still in very good condition. All 4 feetpads intact.
The LC4 is celebrated for its combination of functionality and aesthetic appeal. The base, typically constructed from black steel with a matte finish, provides a solid and stationary foundation. The chrome-plated tubular steel frame, meticulously bent and balanced atop this base, allows for multiple reclining positions, ensuring unparalleled comfort. The seating surface, crafted from high-quality leather or vinyl, conforms to the body's contours, providing a luxurious and supportive experience.
Beyond its functionality, this chaise longue embodies the innovative spirit of its creators, who sought to revolutionize the way furniture was perceived and used. Its sleek, industrial design has secured its place as a timeless classic, highly prized in contemporary interiors. This piece not only stands as a testament to its era, but continues to be a lasting icon of modern design.
