4 Chaise Longue à Réglage Continu, Noire, Durable
Made by Cassina
First presented at the 1929 Paris Salon d'Automne, the LC4 Chaise Longue à Réglage Continu stands among the most consequential objects of the twentieth century. Conceived by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand, it treats the human body as the true measure of form, a direct expression of Le Corbusier's Modulor proportional system.
The Noire edition distills the design to its most austere identity. A trivalent steel frame finished in matt black rests on a lacquered base fitted with rubber-sheathed crosspieces, allowing continuous, effortless recline across a full arc of positions. The mechanism is both precise and generous - a quality that has defined this piece across nearly a century of production.
- Trivalent steel frame in matt black
- Lacquered base with rubber-sheathed crosspieces for continuous adjustment
- Three black leather upholstery options, including hair-on hide
- Designed 1928; debuted at the 1929 Paris Salon d'Automne
- Produced by Cassina under license from the Le Corbusier Foundation
Charlotte Perriand's contributions to the LC4 are now widely recognized as foundational. Her ergonomic sensibility and material precision shaped the chaise into something that functions as much as it signifies. The Noire finish gives that legacy a quiet, monolithic presence - one that speaks through proportion rather than ornament.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the LC4 Noire different from standard LC4 editions?
The Noire edition presents the LC4 in an all-black material palette, pairing a matt black trivalent steel frame with black leather upholstery options, including hair-on hide. This finish emphasizes the sculptural silhouette of the design and strips away any visual distraction from its form.
Who designed the LC4 Chaise Longue?
The LC4 was conceived in 1928 by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand. Perriand's role, long underacknowledged, is now recognized as central to the ergonomic and material logic of the design. It was first exhibited at the 1929 Paris Salon d'Automne.
How does the continuous recline mechanism work?
The chaise shell rests on a curved support fixed to the base, allowing the occupant to shift the reclining angle freely by redistributing body weight. Rubber-sheathed crosspieces provide grip and prevent unwanted movement, so the position can be set without mechanical adjustment.
Is the Cassina LC4 an authorized reproduction?
Cassina produces the LC4 under an official license from the Fondation Le Corbusier, which controls intellectual property rights for Le Corbusier's work. It is the only manufacturer authorized to produce this design to the original specifications.
What does 'trivalent steel' mean in the context of the LC4 frame?
Trivalent chrome plating is a finishing process that uses trivalent chromium compounds rather than hexavalent chromium, resulting in a more environmentally responsible surface treatment. In the Noire edition, this process is applied beneath a matt black finish for both durability and material precision.
