Produced under license and featuring a stamped signature and serial number on each model, the sofa remains contemporary and an established icon of modern style more than 80 years from its initial introduction.
Previously known as the LC2, the Cassina 2 is included in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, and stands as one of the most recognisable pieces of modernist design.
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.
