about this product
The 3 Fauteuil Grand Confort, grand modèle, deux places (formerly known as the LC3 sofa) is a landmark of modernist furniture design created in 1928 by Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand, and Pierre Jeanneret. Conceived as a reinterpretation of the traditional club sofa, it features a polished chrome-plated or painted tubular steel frame that forms an external structural cage, enclosing generously proportioned loose leather cushions for the seat, backrest, and armrests. Unlike the more compact LC2, the LC3 adopts wider dimensions and deeper, softer cushioning to create a more relaxed seating experience while preserving the designers' vision of separating structure from upholstery. Its bold geometric silhouette, industrial materials, and exceptional comfort have made it one of the most influential and enduring icons of twentieth century furniture design.

about the designer
Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand
In 1922, Le Corbusier began working in the new rue de Sèvres, Paris, atelier with his cousin Pierre Jeanneret with whom he shared research projects and design criteria in a profound and life-long professional relationship.In October 1927, the pair decided to draw on the contribution of a young architect who had already begun to establish a reputation on the architectural scene of the time: Charlotte Perriand. Their collaboration lasted through to 1937 and was extremely fruitful, especially in the field of furniture design. The partnership was highly significant, both in terms of the cultural weight of their achievements and their professional successes.It was together with Charlotte Perriand that the pair tackled the innovative project for “l’équipement d'intérieur de l’habitation”. The resulting designs were of great intellectual value and considerable commercial success. Thanks to Cassina’s ongoing production, there is continued interest in the conceptual contents of the work and the level of quality attained.
