This swivel armchair is a re-working of the LC7, whose frame was in tubular metal, and was the work of Charlotte Perriand in 1927. It was later exhibited along with other furniture that Perriand co-designed with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret for the 1929 Salon d’Automne in Paris. The original design was executed in Vietnam in 1943, using the materials and crafts techniques available during that war-time period. The first model had three legs, with a fourth added later. This piece reflects the designer’s flexible and resourceful approach: she often adapted her designs according to the availability of materials and where production was to take place. Cassina has re-issued Indochine in the full respect of the original design, interpreting it, and incorporating a solid wood base that highlights the excellence of the company craftsmen’s wood-working skillsù.

Charlotte Perriand

Designer

Charlotte Perriand

Charlotte Perriand (1903–1999) was one of the most influential figures in 20th-century design, known for seamlessly combining modernist aesthetics, technical innovation, and social commitment. Trained at the École de l’Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, she quickly gained recognition with groundbreaking projects such as the famous Bar sous le toit, which caught the attention of Le Corbusier.

She was subsequently invited to collaborate with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret at the Rue de Sèvres studio, where she contributed to the creation of some of modernism’s most iconic furniture pieces, including the LC1, LC2, and LC4 chairs, often credited as co-author.

Perriand’s design approach combined a rational, functional vision of space with a profound respect for natural materials and the social role of design. From the 1930s onward, her work embraced new influences, such as Japanese craftsmanship and vernacular cultures, anticipating many themes central to contemporary design.

This collection curated by Cassina revives the formal rigor and constructive intelligence that characterize her oeuvre. Pieces like the Accordo coffee table, designed in 1985, illustrate the maturity of a designer who remained true to her principles while constantly renewing her vision.

Charlotte Perriand’s legacy continues to influence contemporary design through her ability to unite ethics, aesthetics, and functionality in a poetic vision of living.
