"Colour, form and matter in the furniture designed by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand are just three aspects into which Cassina carries out detailed research. Its mission is to discover original features in the works of these proponents of modern rationalism and to recount their innovative verve in all its authenticity. A series of updates and new details have been added to the iconic models that the company exclusively produces at international level in the \u201CCassina I Maestri\u201D collection. This upgrading process has been carried out in close collaboration with Le Corbusier Foundation and through the analysis of original documents and drawings belonging to the designers. The result is an even more vibrant and contemporary vision.\r\n\r\nThe overriding theme is colour, around which Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand develop essential reflections. Today, alongside the better known chrome-plated pieces in black leather, Cassina enhances the seven tones established for its metal frame structure. The company proposes them in innumerable combinations with a fabric collection approved by Le Corbusier Foundation, and the heirs of Jeanneret and Perriand. The collection comprises a series of combinations that can be recreated virtually at www.cassina.com/LCcolour. A specific web configurator gives visitors the chance to see a preview and evaluate the aesthetic effect of combinations in order to choose the ideal pairing. This versatility increases the usage possibilities of each item of furniture, according to the authentic spirit of Le Corbusier.\r\n\r\nThere is also more flexibility of choice for the LC4. The famous leather chaise-longue can now be accompanied by a cushion in the same shade as the entire mattress, as well as the usual version with black cushion. The result is a consistent, plain colour that enhances the purity of the form.\r\n\r\nCassina has also worked on the textures of the upholstery materials. In the basic covers of category X leather, a new extremely soft and pleasantly tactile leather is introduced. Its sensorial qualities make every piece of furniture even more welcoming and attuned to individual desires.\r\n\r\nAs well as the distinctive symbol of authenticity of the Cassina brand (which includes a progressive production number, the signatures of the designers and the Cassina I Maestri logo) found on all models, the Cassina signature will now also be visible on the base of the metallic frames of the LC2, LC3 and LC4 seats. This logo indicates that Cassina is the only company with exclusive international rights to reproduce Le Corbusiner furniture. This is in accordance with Fondazione Le Corbusier and the heirs of the codesigners that, since 1964, have chosen Cassina as their exclusive spokesperson due to its sensibility and respect for the original project, as well as its consolidated production expertise.\r\n\r\n\r\nCassina rediscovers the furniture from the Villa Church Pavilion, going back in time in a creative play of authentic and free interpretation.\r\n\r\nCassina reissues the first versions of the LC4 chaise-longue and LC2 armchair. Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand designed the models in 1928 for the interiors of the innovative Villa Church Pavilion, a house near Paris, designed by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret for an American couple. Both were experimental prototypes helping to hone the definition of the furniture that was officially presented the following year at the Salon d&amp;#039;Automne (1929). This stimulating exploration taps the beginning of the creative process of \u2018interior fittings,\u2019 which became icons of modern living. Functional models that meet the desires of the user. After the re-release of the LC1 Villa Church armchair in 2011, Cassina continues to rediscover the evolution of the great classics of modern rationalism in a constantly open dialogue, subject to continual studies and variations. This version demonstrates the principle shared by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand that every instrument of living, in its many possible variants, must respond functionally to the tastes of the client-user, while upholding the design intuition that generated it. Cassina has created these new editions in a worldwide exclusive working in close collaboration with the Le Corbusier Foundation and Pernette Perriand-Barsac, daughter and sole heir of Charlotte Perriand.\r\n\r\nLC4 Villa Church chaise-longue, 1928 Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand \u2013 Cassina I Maestri Collection\r\n\r\nThe desire to identify the authenticity of the iconic models in the history of design has led Cassina to study this first version of the \u2018chaise-longue basculante.\u2019 The early models were different in a number of construction and aesthetic details from the versions presented by Thonet in the early 1930s up until the Cassina model in 1965. The tube of the frame\u2019s base of the LC4 Villa Church recaptures the first \u2018teardrop\u2019 shape and is in blue, whilst the four support elements are in shades of basalt grey. The original grey pony-skin mattress also enriches the compositional structure of the chaise-longue.\r\n\r\nMeasurements: 160 x 56,4 cm.\r\n\r\nLC4 CP chaise-longue by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand, an homage by Cassina to Charlotte Perriand for the occasion of the 2014 Louis Vuitton Ic\u00F4nes Co"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
