LC2 armchair: Le Corbusier design classic as a faithful reproduction
A sofa as an architectural statement
The LC2 armchair by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand has been considered the epitome of modern residential architecture since its introduction in 1928. With its clear cubic form, exposed tubular steel frame, and precisely proportioned upholstery, it embodies the radical idea of conceiving of furniture as functional architecture.
The LC2 is not a decorative object, but a consciously designed spatial element – reduced, honest and timeless.
Construction, proportions and comfort
A defining characteristic of the LC2 is the separation of structure and upholstery. The external tubular steel frame forms a clean, defined structure within which the generously sized cushions appear to float freely. This construction lends the piece its iconic tension between austerity and comfort.
Despite its geometric shape, the LC2 impresses with surprisingly high seating comfort. The generous padding, precise seat height, and clearly defined armrests make it ideal for living rooms, offices, and lounges alike.
Faithful reproduction from an Italian manufacturer
At Bauhaus Collection, we produce the LC2 armchair as a faithful reproduction using traditional Italian manufacturing techniques. Every detail – from the proportions of the frame to the thickness of the upholstery – is meticulously based on the historical original.
The steel tubes are precisely crafted, the upholstery carefully constructed and covered with high-quality leather or fabric. The result is a piece of furniture that meets the architectural demands of the design while also being built to last for everyday use.
Italian manufacturing & quality
A classic for residential, office and commercial spaces
The LC2 blends effortlessly into a wide variety of environments. Whether as a standalone statement piece, as part of a seating group in the living room, or as a prestigious piece of furniture in the office – its clean lines always remain sophisticated and contemporary.
Especially in combination with the LC2 sofa, a harmonious ensemble is created that consistently takes modern architecture to the next level.

Timeless design beyond trends
The LC2 is not a piece of furniture of its time – but a piece of furniture for all time. Its design follows no trends, but rather an attitude: functionality, honesty of materials and precise form.
Those who choose the LC2 consciously opt against arbitrariness and for a piece of furniture with architectural depth and design consistency.
