The Fauteuil 2, the archetype of modernity, embodies a timeless model that has profoundly marked the history of design to become a world-renowned icon. Designed by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand, it is equally at home in residential and public spaces.

Presented to great acclaim at the Salon d'Automne in Paris in 1929, this armchair symbolised the very essence of the modern concept of furniture, considered by its creators as "household equipment" essential to everyday life. Even today, thanks to Cassina's editorial policy, these products continue to arouse great interest, both for the quality of their manufacture and for their cultural value.

One of the most remarkable features of this armchair is the independence between its metal structure and its cushions. This separation, in keeping with the principles of rationalism, is a perfect illustration of the logic of industrial production. It also evokes the architectural relationship between the load-bearing structure and the filling elements, testifying to an avant-garde, functionalist approach to design.

In its "Durable" version, the 100% recycled PET blown-fibre upholstery reflects a commitment to the environment while offering optimum comfort.

Beyond its bold aesthetic, the Fauteuil 2 is a true testament to the evolution of modern design and its impact on our everyday lives. Its presence in contemporary interiors is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the masterpieces of the past, while continuing to innovate and push the boundaries of design into the future.
