Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand, and Pierre Jeanneret
Produced by Wohnbedarf (Zurich), imported by Stendig
Pair of Basculant chairs (LC1)
Produced 1958-1976
Leather, chrome-plated steel
Each 25" x 25" x 25"
Marked to the undersides with Stendig stickers. Of note are the spring tensioners on the arm slings, an original design element present only early productions of the Basculant chair (including those by Thonet), which would be eliminated in favor of simple leather straps for the later productions by Heidi Weber and Cassina.
Good to very good condition, noting a little bit of wear to the leather slings. The chrome looks very good, with no notable pitting or tarnish. One of the arms' spring tensioners has been repaired.
