Indochine Chair

Designed by

Charlotte Perriand

Designed in 1943, the Indochine chair by Charlotte Perriand for Cassina is a warm, wooden reinterpretation of her earlier tubular-metal swivel seat—its enveloping curved back and gentle, sculpted lines translate modernist rigour into an organic, craft-led piece conceived while Perriand was in Vietnam; made originally with locally available materials and artisanal techniques, the Indochine balances comfort and poise, offering a timeless, worldly accent that reads as both a functional swivel armchair and an elegant statement of mid-century modern sensibility.

Charlotte Perriand

Born in Paris, architect and designer Charlotte Perriand is one of the most influential furniture designers of the early modern movement. After famously initially being refused a job at Le Corbusier’s studio, receiving the renowned retort “we don’t embroider cushions here”, Perriand’s design prowess was initially overlooked; it was only when she exhibited her innovative ‘The Bar under the roof’ installation at Salon d’Automne that she was able to convince Le Corbusier of her talent, resulting in an offer of a position at his studio.
