Cassina Reimagines A Classic Padded-Leather Armchair

Designed in 1928 by three legendary design figures—Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand—the 3 Fauteuil Grand Confort, Grand Modèle (its name as impressive as its pedigree) has been reimagined. The original padded-leather armchair was radical in that it decoupled the metal frame from the upholstery, a concept that mirrored how architects of modernist buildings typically annunciated the load-bearing structure. The contemporary update has sustainable features and comes dressed in an exclusive velvet-touch cashmere by luxury Italian menswear house Kiton. The upholstery is two-tone: The outer fabric of the armchair can be navy and the interior burgundy or vice versa, with the embracing tubular steel frame a gleaming blue. The complementary hues were inspired by those of early models for the Villa Church residence near Paris. cassina.com
