It's audacious sculptural look was designed by Charlotte Perriand in 1985 for the retrospective exhibition of her works held at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.

Originally intended as a one-off, this was among Perriand’s last works. When it joined the Cassina portfolio, Accordo was only available in a black lacquer finish. Today, as fresh-looking as it was when first launched, the color options now include this China red.

Charlotte Perriand (1903–1999) was one of the most influential figures in 20th-century design, known for seamlessly combining modernist aesthetics, technical innovation, and social commitment. Trained at the École de l’Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, she quickly gained recognition with groundbreaking projects such as the famous Bar sous le toit, which caught the attention of Le Corbusier.

She was subsequently invited to collaborate with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret at the Rue de Sèvres studio, where she contributed to the creation of some of modernism’s most iconic furniture pieces, including the LC1, LC2, and LC4 chairs, often credited as co-author. See less
