Cassina LC2 Two Seater

637 Utrecht armchair by Gerrit T. Rietveld for Cassina.
Dutch designer Gerrit Rietveld is one of modernism’s most singular figures – a leading light of the De Stijl movement and designer of some of the modern age’s most iconic pieces of furniture.
The Utrecht chair, named after the city of his birth, was designed in 1935 and reveals Rietveld’s fascination with distilling a piece of furniture to its structural basics, revealing a form that is at once unconventional and soundly rational.

One of the most recognized objects of the last century, and an icon of the modern movement, the Barcelona Chair exudes a simple elegance that epitomizes Mies van der Rohe’s most famous maxim–“less is more.” Each Barcelona piece is a tribute to the marriage of modern design and exceptional craftsmanship.

One of Cassina’s worldwide best-sellers, the LC4 is the quintessential chaise longue, designed in 1928, and based on an in-depth exploration of reclining chairs. The three designers devised the LC4 as an expression of the concept of relaxation, with a focus on the human figure, the link between form and function being reflected in the balance between geometric purity and ergonomic intent.
