Unveiled at the 1929 Salon d’Automne in Paris, the LC2 3-Seater Sofa revolutionized the concept of traditional luxury seating. Nicknamed the "cushion basket" (fauteuil grand confort), this design turned upholstery inside out. Rather than hiding the internal framework beneath layers of fabric and wood, the design team brought the structural steel cage to the exterior, using it to securely hold independent, rationalist cushions. The LC2 3-Seater Sofa variation expands this architectural masterpiece into a spacious, communal lounge piece, blending industrial geometric purity with an inviting, plush aesthetic. The frame serves as an exoskeleton. The polished steel cage explicitly defines the boundary of the sofa, grouping independent cushions into a perfect cube. By keeping the load-bearing metal support fully detached from the soft seating elements, the LC2 embodies pure modernist architecture—much like a skyscraper supporting its internal rooms. The cushions are perfectly squared to retain the neat, minimalist grid look while remaining exceptionally comfortable. Its strict geometric discipline allows it to blend seamlessly into minimalist residential living areas, luxury receptions, and professional executive suites.
