Featuring a pared-back canvas upholstery, with leather trim, the Cassina 1 Fauteuil Dossier Basculant UAM Armchair is rich with simple character and style. Previously known as the LC1 chair, the frame is produced in tubular steel, and features a chrome finish, with the signatures of Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand stamped onto the base of the piece, ensuring authenticity. The UAM - The Union des Artistes Modernes - saw some of the most iconic names in architecture, art and crafts come together to disrupt the arts and culture sector in the age of modernism, with Perriand in particular becoming a giant of the furniture industry at this time.

Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret produced some of the most iconic designs of the modernist age. First coming together in the 1920s, the three would work together until the Second World War saw the group disbanded.
Perriand’s name is one that is synonymous with some of the key industrial designs of the 20th Century, while the historical legacy of Le Corbusier’s work is of undisputed importance. Le Corbusier, together with his cousin Pierre Jeanneret and Perriand presented new concepts of furniture at the Salon d'Automne in Paris in 1929. That collection of iconic furniture has not dated in the slightest, and still fits perfectly with the modern home today.
