1 Fauteuil dossier basculant, 60 armchair is an armchair designed by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand for Cassina, featuring a tubular steel frame in glossy red, blue, or green finishes, nickel-plated steel springs for securing the cover, and a self-supporting Cuoio Plus leather seat in tone-on-tone hues.
Originally created in 1928 and unveiled to the public at the Salon d’Automne in Paris in 1929, the 1 Fauteuil dossier basculant quickly became an icon of modern design, earning a place in the permanent collection of MoMA in New York. This masterpiece exemplifies the rational, avant-garde approach of Le Corbusier, Jeanneret, and Perriand—an impeccable balance of form and function conveyed through clean lines, harmonious proportions, and a restrained yet deeply expressive formal language.
In 2025, Cassina celebrates the 60th anniversary of the official production of the models—now universally known by the “LC” designation—with a special edition: 1 Fauteuil dossier basculant 60. This reissue is part of a broader commemorative project aimed at revisiting and reinterpreting some of the most emblematic works of European modernism through a contemporary lens.
The new edition stands out for its glossy metal frame and tone-on-tone leather upholstery. Cassina’s intervention is both respectful and meticulous, preserving the identity of the original piece while amplifying its timeless character.
