4 Chaise Longue à Réglage Continu, Noire, Durable
Made by Cassina
Designed by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand
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
Who designed the LC4 Chaise Longue and when?
The LC4 was designed in 1928 as a collaboration between Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand. It was publicly debuted at the Paris Salon d'Automne in 1929 and has been in continuous production since Cassina acquired the exclusive license in 1964.
What makes the LC4 recline mechanism work?
The chaise uses a trivalent frame that slides freely over a fixed base, allowing the recline angle to be adjusted continuously along the arc of the base rails. Rubber-sheathed crosspieces on the base provide stability and dampen movement at any position.
What leather options are available in the Noire edition?
The Noire edition is offered in three distinct black leather upholsteries, one of which is a hair-on hide, providing a textural contrast to the matt black steel frame and base.
What is the significance of the Modulor in this design?
Le Corbusier's Modulor is a proportional system based on human body measurements and the golden ratio. The LC4's curved silhouette was developed to follow the body's natural contours at rest, making the Modulor not merely a theoretical reference but a structural logic embedded in the chair's geometry.
Is the Cassina LC4 an authorized reproduction?
Cassina is the sole authorized producer of the LC4, operating under an exclusive license held since 1964 and granted by the Le Corbusier Foundation. Each piece is manufactured in Italy according to the specifications and material standards of the original design.
