about this product

The Fauteuil Grand Confort, grand modèle, trois places (commonly known as the LC3 three-seater 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. Expanding on the proportions of the original concept, the three-seater version offers a broader, more expansive seating surface while maintaining the deep, soft cushioning that defines the LC3’s relaxed comfort. Its bold geometric silhouette, industrial materials, and clear separation of structure from upholstery exemplify the designers’ modernist ideals, securing its status as one of the most influential and enduring icons of twentieth century furniture design.

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.
