LC8 Stool

Designed by Charlotte Perriand and part of the Collection Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand. The LC8 stool takes its inspiration from the swivel chair designed in 1927 by Charlotte Perriand for her own apartment in the Place Saint-Sulpice in Paris, and was shown at the 1929 Salon d’Automne, as part of a collection co-designed with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret. Its iconic and versatile shape derives from the need to rationalise serial production by using common elements. The trivalent chrome-plated steel frame, available both in a polished or painted finish, features polyester padding and expanded CFC-free polyurethane foam, and is upholstered in leather or fabric. The LC8 stool, available also as an outdoor version, holds CATAS certification, thanks to a structural update effected by Cassina in 2016.
