LC2 armchair: Le Corbusier design classic as a faithful reproduction
A Sofa as an Architectural Statement
Since its introduction in 1928, the LC2 armchair by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand has been considered the epitome of modern residential architecture. With its clear cubature, visible tubular steel frame, and precisely proportioned upholstery, it embodies the radical idea of conceiving furniture as functional architecture.
The LC2 is not a decorative object, but a consciously designed spatial body – minimalist, honest, and timeless.
Construction, Proportion, and Comfort
Characteristic of the LC2 is the separation of structure and upholstery. The external tubular steel frame forms a clear framework in which the voluminous cushions appear to rest freely. This construction gives the furniture its iconic tension between rigidity and comfort.
Despite its geometric form, the LC2 convinces with surprisingly high seating comfort. The generous upholstery, precise seat height, and clearly defined armrests make it ideal for living spaces as well as offices and lounges.
Faithful Reproduction from an Italian Manufactory
At Bauhaus Kollektion, we manufacture the LC2 armchair as a faithful reproduction in Italian manufactory work. Every detail – from the proportions of the frame to the thickness of the upholstery – is consistently based on the historical original.
The tubular steel is precisely crafted, the upholstery carefully constructed, and covered with high-quality leather or fabric. This results in a piece of furniture that lives up to the architectural claim of the design and is also designed for long-lasting everyday use.
A Classic for Living, Office, and Contract Areas
The LC2 effortlessly integrates into various environments. Whether as a single statement piece, as a seating group in the living room, or as representative furniture in the office – its clear design language always remains sovereign and contemporary.
Especially in combination with the LC2 sofa, a harmonious ensemble is created that consistently rethinks modern architecture.
Timeless Design Beyond Trends
The LC2 is not furniture of its time – but furniture for all time. Its design follows no fashions, but an attitude: functionality, honesty of materials, and precise shaping.
Those who choose the LC2 consciously opt against arbitrariness and for a piece of furniture with architectural depth and design consistency.
