Favorite Haworth Collection Piece:

Cassina LC2 by Le Corbusier

What Is Special About It:

Le Corbusier was one of the many architects who inspired me and allowed me to idolize the modernist design style. The leather feel and tubular steel are incredibly iconic. I hope to have a sitting room some day fully furnished with Le’s pieces.
