This chic chaise lounge design by Cassina and Louis Vuitton is a limited edition furniture piece that is sleek and sculptural. The furniture piece was developed for the 110th anniversary of French designer Charlotte Perriand’s birth and displayed at Art Basel in Miami.
When it was first designed, an image of the chair with Perriand perched atop it became quite controversial, although it's now become an icon. This special edition chair pays tribute to Perriand's design, this time in collaboration with Louis Vuitton. The LC4 CP is made of leather from the Louis Vuitton tannery, featuring a flame that seems to effortlessly float above a frame. Only 1,000 of the limited edition chairs will be made.
