Who designed the LC4 Chaise Longue?

The LC4 was designed collaboratively in 1928 by Le Corbusier, his cousin Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand. Perriand, who joined Le Corbusier's atelier that year, played a central role in the ergonomic and material development of the piece.

How does the LC4's adjustable recline mechanism work?

The seat shell rests on a trivalent chrome-plated steel arc frame, which slides freely over a fixed base to allow continuous adjustment of the recline angle. There are no locking pins or mechanical stops - the occupant's own weight governs the position.

Is the Cassina LC4 faithful to the 1928 original?

Cassina has held the official production license since 1965 and manufactures the LC4 in strict accordance with the original specifications, including the trivalent chrome-plated steel frame, base geometry, and rubber-sheathed crosspieces.

What upholstery options are available for the LC4?

The LC4 is available in a range of upholstery configurations, including leather and pony skin, as well as painted or polished base finishes. Specific options vary and are best confirmed through a design consultant for current availability.

How should the LC4 Chaise Longue be positioned in an interior?

Because the LC4 reads as sculpture from every angle, it functions equally well as a focal point in an open-plan space or as a considered counterpoint to orthogonal furniture arrangements. Its low, horizontal silhouette draws the eye and benefits from generous clearance on all sides.
