1 Fauteuil Dossier Basculant Chair
UAM Version
Price € 1.964,00
Presented in 1929 at the Salon d’Automne together with other iconic models by Cassina as the armchairs 2 Fauteuil Grand Confort and 3 Fauteuil Grand Confort, the seat 1 Fauteuil Dossier Basculant appears lighter and more compact, result of a detailed study on the body posture. As it is for many other Le Corbusier’s pieces, 1 Fauteuil Dossier Basculant is the perfect support for a neat relax, encouraging you to the conversation, rather than to the rest. An extraordinary balance between shape and function is created by the use of Modulor, a system based on the standard sizes of the human body and on the mathematical language of proportions inspired by universal harmony. An armchair created essentially on a human scale. Its success and of the other models realized with the same expressive taste as the chaise longue à reglage continu and the table 6 table tube d'avion earn them the title of worldwide design icons, perfect pieces able to give a unique touch of composition to any ambiences.

Founded in 1927 by the brothers Cesare and Umberto in the heart of Brianza furniture, Cassina is one of the long-lived Made in Italy industrial design companies. From the early ‘30s, Cassina brothers identified the strong demand for home furnishings and interpreted in a far-sighted way the renewed taste of the new emerging classes. From this intuition, Cassina started a real revolution in the indoor furnishings design. Since then, the company has been pursuing a path of research and innovation, involving prestigious designers and architects in the study of new furnishings models. In the last few years the collaboration with Gio Ponti has begun. Thanks to this partnership were born the 646 chair, known as Leggera, and the subsequent model 699 or Superleggera.Read more
Designed by
Le Corbusier
Le Corbusier (1887-1965) is one of the most illustrious names in world architecture of the twentieth century. Swiss by birth, but French by adoption, he is considered the great master of the Modern Movement, a current that revolutionized architecture in the period between the two World Wars. Refined theorist, he effectively conceptualized the pillars of a new architecture, destined to change the world, and of a revolutionary urban conception. He was a pioneer in the use of concrete and designed buildings that have now risen to symbolize the twentieth century, such as Ville Savoye, the Chapel of Notre-Dame du Haut or the Unité d'Habitation complex in Marseille. He was also a designer, author also in this field of products that have made history, often in collaboration with his cousin Pierre Jeanneret and his assistant Charlotte Perriand. His furniture was re-edited in series starting in 1965 by the Italian Cassina company, in an operation of great philological rigor and extraordinary success, while his lamps are now produced by Nemo.Read more
