The LC7 Swivel Chair (1928) evolved from one of a number of experiments, including an attempt to fashion a chair by wrapping inner tubes from tires around a steel frame. As the Le Corbusier group refined such trials, sensuous solutions took form. LC7 consists of a round, thickly padded seat fitted on top of a curving claw-like base of tubular steel that resolves in a swivel mechanism, giving the seat pad a buoyant look. It`s topped with a curved, amply padded barrel that doubles as backrest and armrest, linked by three tubular steel supports that fuse at the seat base. Each piece is signed and numbered and, as a product of Cassina`s Masters Collection, is manufactured by Cassina under exclusive worldwide license from the Le Corbusier Foundation. Made in Italy.
The LC7 Swivel Chair is a practical and beautiful piece. Stainless steel is used for the frame to ensure durability. It has been nicely polished to prevent rusting and chipping. For displayed chair, genuine aniline leather is upholstered for the backrest, seat and armrest. Together, they create the ultimate experience in relaxation. Minute details have been taken care of such as the steel joints which have been welded and sanded to remove imperfections. The LC7 Swivel Chair is visually stimulating and luxuriously comfortable. It is a fascinating example of the genius vision of Le Corbusier (LC).
