Comfort as a manifesto: the legacy of Cassina’s ‘Grand Confort’ armchairs.

As we move from the lightness of summer to the first signs of the changing seasons, our perspective on living spaces shifts. The terrace is still within easy reach, but indoor spaces are slowly coming back into focus. Rooms should radiate warmth, encourage conversation and create places where people enjoy spending time.

It is precisely here that the Cassina classics ‘2 Fauteuil Grand Confort, petit modèle’ and ‘3 Fauteuil Grand Confort, grand modèle’ come into their own. They combine a clean design language, exposed construction and a level of comfort that is immediately apparent. The striking frame provides structure. The soft upholstery brings volume, tranquillity and depth to the room.

The interplay between the room, its intended use, the upholstery and the colour determines which version creates the right effect. Let our expert teams advise you.

The ‘2 Fauteuil Grand Confort, petit modèle’ has made design history. First exhibited at the Salon d’Automne in Paris in 1929, it is regarded as the archetype of a modern conception of furniture. It was designed by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand. With its compact presence, it is ideal for living rooms, lounges, reading areas and prestigious reception areas where design quality is meant to be both seen and felt.

The ‘3 Fauteuil Grand Confort, grand modèle’ offers a more generous interpretation of comfort. Its proportions create a sense of presence without appearing overbearing. It invites you to sit, read and chat, bringing a timeless quality to both private and business spaces.
