8 TABOURET TOURNANT SWIVEL STOOL

LC8 is the iconic stool of Cassina designed in 1927 by Charlotte Perriand and included in the LC collection. The LC8 stool, initially designed for the private home of the French designer, became part of the family of furnishing accessories conceived for the project "Equipment intereur d'une habitation", a highly innovative project that would have influenced the design to long, until we reach the present day. The basic concept of the project is simple: the house is a "machine to be inhabited" and therefore requires special basic units of furniture, separate, independent and freely usable. Thus was born the idea of ​​designing archetypal complements, which are at the same time composed of simple single elements, easily manufactured in series and functional, of real "domestic equipment". The LC8 is, in fact, made in harmonious proportions, according to a scheme of relationships and measures called "Modulor", conceived by Le Corbusier himself studying postures, movements and interactions with the objects of a tall human body m 1.83. No detail is, therefore, left to chance: thickness of the cushion, width and height of the structure, everything follows the golden decalogue of the ideal livability. In functional and practical terms, the stool has a metal tubular structure, available in chrome finish or painted in 7 colors of the Le Corbusier palette, with swivel seat. The LC8 stool is available upholstered in a selection of leathers and fabrics from the Cassina collection, and it is also possible to customize the upholstery with a special leather profile, in 3 shades.
