Product description

90 limited edition iconic armchairs: LC2 Maison La Roche
The LC2 Maison La Roche armchair by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand was designed in 1928 and chosen for the home of Le Corbusier’s friend the Swiss banker Raoul La Roche. The modern architecture of this Parisian building, designed with Pierre Jeanneret, was studied to host his art collection. Today Maison La Roche and Maison Jeanneret (the adjacent building) are respectively a museum open to the public and the headquarters of the Fondation Le Corbusier.
The LC2 Maison La Roche is one of the first prototypes of the armchair and, compared to the standard version, concentrates in particular on the strong contrast between the materials which emphasize the softness of the cushions.

The armchair, with a brown frame, is upholstered in soft tobacco coloured leather and padded with feathers giving it an incredibly fluffy aspect.
Each piece is authenticated with both its progressive limited edition number and serial production number, as well as the signatures of the authors and the Cassina I Maestri logo which underlines that Cassina is the only authorised company to produce this furniture.
This version is available in only 90 pieces to celebrate the 90 years since Maison La Roche was built (1923-25). This anniversary is also remembered in the exhibition “Re-Corbusier”, organised by the Fondation Le Corbusier with the support of Cassina, which opened on the 1st of April 2015 at Maison La Roche itself. The exhibit, which showcases a selection of works (paintings, sculptures, installations) which play with the cardinal theories of Le Corbusier’s work, is a new opportunity to bring art back to this building.
