the lc7 is one of those designs whose formal clarity makes it virtually independent of its time of origin. Charlotte perriand originally designed the chair in 1927 for her own paris apartment. Shortly thereafter, the design was incorporated into the collaborative furniture program of le corbusier, pierre jeanneret, and charlotte perriand.

the construction is as simple as it is precise: a chrome-plated tubular steel frame supports the wraparound, upholstered seat and backrest, giving the chair a striking presence despite its compact proportions. The combination of chrome and black leather is now one of the characteristic material combinations of classic modernism.

behind this formal clarity stands charlotte perriand as an independent designer. Even as a young woman, she developed a distinctly modern vision of how people should live and dwell. In an architecture and design world still largely dominated by men, she asserted her own position early on and became one of the defining figures of modern furniture design.

the lc7 exemplifies this attitude: independent, precise, and self-assured. This is a key aspect of the chair's appeal. It embodies not only the aesthetics of modernism but also the design aspirations of a woman who formulated and consistently pursued her own path. Almost a century after its creation, the chair therefore possesses not only formal presence but also a special historical dimension.

the example offered here was manufactured by cassina in italy and bears the serial number 16262. According to our research, this particular example belongs to a cassina production from the 1990s.

condition report

the chair is in very good original condition. The chrome frame is well-preserved and shows only minor signs of age and use. The surface has been carefully cleaned.

the foam core is well-preserved, retains its shape, and maintains good elasticity and resilience. The upholstery provides even and stable seating support.

the leather is in very good, well-maintained condition for its age and displays a light, even patina. There is a small indentation in the leather on the back, below the backrest. This is out of sight and does not affect the chair's function or its overall excellent condition. The area is stable and unchanged.

the leather has been carefully cleaned with a special leather cleaner that also disinfects. It has then been treated with a high-quality leather conditioner. This keeps the material supple, protects the surface, and helps preserve the leather for the long term. This piece has an attribution mark,
