Cassina Reworks Modernist Classics for Outdoor Use While you can furnish an entire home with modernist classics, that has not always been true for outdoor space. But Cassina, the Italian furniture manufacturer, has taken a step toward rectifying that situation with the introduction of pieces by Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret, reworked for outdoor use. "This happened by accident," said Gianluca Armento, the company's director. "My boss told me he wanted to bring a Fauteuil Grand Confort" - Le Corbusier's tubular steel-and-leather armchair - "onto the terrace, and I told him it wasn't fit for outdoors." Now, after 18 months of research and development, it is, and so are the LC1 small armchair, the LC3 armchair and two-seater sofa, the LC7 small armchair, the LC8 stool, the LC10-P series of tables and the Tokyo chaise longue by Charlotte Perriand, pictured. All of the pieces are upholstered in Sunbrella fabric, and INOX steel was used for the tubular frames. Prices range from $1,020 for an LC8 Swivel stool to $6,190 for the Tokyo chaise in teak.
