3 Fauteuil Grand Confort, Grand Modèle by Cassina, designed by the esteemed Le Corbusier, is a sofa with soft padding that exemplifies the principles of Modernist architecture. This armchair signifies a groundbreaking design philosophy, marked by the separation of the metal frame from the upholstery. This approach reflects the architectural theory of separating the load-bearing structure of a building from its decorative elements. The design features four discrete cushions elegantly nestled within a cage of painted or chrome-finished steel tubes, creating a striking visual contrast between the soft upholstery and the robust framework. Cassina has collaborated extensively with Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier’s heir, and the Fondation Le Corbusier over the years to reinterpret the original design while honoring its foundational intent. This partnership has led to the introduction of new versions and finishes, ensuring the 3 Fauteuil Grand Confort, Grand Modèle remains relevant and adaptable to contemporary spaces.
