The “Le Corbusier” collection, as it has been called since the nineteen seventies, would never have seen the light of day without the programme created by Le Corbusier in April 1927.
The Italian company Cassina acquired the production and sales rights to these models designed in 1928 by Le Corbusier Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand by contract dated 23 October, 1964.
The exclusive rights to manufacture and sell these models were extended from Italy to Europe, to the Americas in 1967 and the whole world in 1971. The range was further expanded in the 1970s to include most of the furniture designed by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand under the direction of the Fondation Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand in collaboration with Filippo Alison and Cassina.
Write here a little bit bout the brand, design and why it and the maker are iconic or interesting.
