Designed by: Charlotte Perriand
Manufactured by: Cassina
This swivel armchair is a re-working of the 7 Fauteuil tournant, whose frame was in tubular metal, and was the work of Charlotte Perriand in 1927. It was later exhibited along with other furniture that Perriand co-designed with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret for the 1929 Salon d'Automne in Paris. The original design was executed in Vietnam in 1943, using the materials and crafts techniques available during that war-time period. The first model had three legs, with a fourth added later. This piece reflects the designer's flexible and resourceful approach: she often adapted her designs according to the availability of materials and where production was to take place. Cassina has re-issued Indochine in the full respect of the original design, interpreting it, and incorporating a solid wood base that highlights the excellence of the company craftsmen's wood-working skills. Manufactured by Cassina.
The Indochine dining chair is available through our Quickship Program with select options. Please contact Switch Modern at 404-605-0196 or info@switchmodern.com to check current availability.
