Description
The LC3 two-seat sofa is one of the most iconic expressions of early modernist furniture design, conceived in 1928 by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand. Characterized by its radical separation of structure and comfort, the exposed chrome-plated steel frame forms a clear architectural outline, within which generous leather cushions are suspended.
Produced by Cassina in Italy, this example features black leather upholstery with soft down-filled cushions, offering a refined balance between visual rigor and exceptional comfort. The LC3 exemplifies Le Corbusier’s concept of furniture as “equipment for living,” and remains a cornerstone of 20th-century design—equally suited to modern interiors, collectors’ settings, and institutional spaces.
