Cassina
Cassina and Le Corbusier have been active players in the design community for nearly a century. Their presence is as relevant today as it was in the late 1920s, when the roots of Cassina were established by brothers Cesare and Umberto Cassina in the northern Italian region of Brianza, and Le Corbusier introduced his juxtaposition of traditional and innovative design in a collection of furniture for day-to-day life.
Timeless Design
The marriage between this manufacturer and designer was made in 1964—one year before Le Corbusier’s death—through an exclusive licensing agreement that helped to blend his iconic designs with modern technology.
Classics for Everyday Life
Cassina began producing LC products, including the iconic LC4 chaise lounge chair, as well as armchairs, sofas, and tables. Though Le Corbusier’s illustrious career came to an end in 1965, his influence was undisputed.
Innovative Fusion
Cassina’s identity lies in innovative fusion of industrial technology with artisan manufacturing. A preeminent design leader and manufacturer of original contemporary furniture, Cassina works with designers to create chairs, sofas, armchairs, and accessories.

LC3
A modern expression of the traditional club chair, LC3 is based on Le Corbusier’s original design from the 1920’s. Today, these modern classics remain contemporary and iconic. LC3 offers a generous seating area in all versions: lounge chair, two-seat sofa, or three-seat sofa. Cushions are upholstered in LCX leather or Kvadrat® fabric.
Torei
Inspired by the function of a serving tray.
LC4
The seat of the LC4 chaise lounge is designed to slide on the base to allow a range of relaxing sitting angles, from reclined to more upright. A black leather headrest adds to the comfort. Upholstery is LCX leather or Hairy Hide. The steel frame is adjustable. LC4 is included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art.
LC5
LC5 is Le Corbusier’s interpretation of the armless sofa. This updated version of the classic is the result of a collaboration between the Le Corbusier Foundation and Charlotte Perriand. With its inviting design, LC5 lends casual sophistication to lounges, lobbies, and waiting areas. It is available with two or three seats and upholstered in LCX leather or Kvadrat® fabric.
