What customers say
The LC1 UAM chair is celebrated as a masterpiece of modernist design, admired for its perfect proportions and timeless aesthetic. Customers consistently praise the exceptional quality and meticulous craftsmanship, confirming its status as a durable, heirloom investment. The luxurious feel of the premium materials, including the leather and steel frame, justifies the price point.

Know before you buy
The chair features a dynamic backrest that pivots to adjust to your posture. It is designed to move with you, providing continuous support whether you are sitting upright or leaning back.
The frame is constructed from durable, polished chrome-plated steel. The seat and backrest are upholstered in a high-quality ecru fabric, accented with natural leather trim for added durability and aesthetic detail.
While the LC1 is an iconic piece of modernist design, it is primarily intended for occasional seating or lounge areas. Its ergonomic, minimalist profile provides excellent support, but it is not designed as a deep-cushioned recliner for extended lounging.
The chrome frame can be kept clean and shiny by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish. For the fabric and leather sections, we recommend professional cleaning or a gentle vacuuming to prevent dust buildup.
The Cassina LC1 is typically delivered fully assembled. Given its precise engineering and iconic design, it is ready to be placed in your space immediately upon arrival.
The chair measures 26 inches wide, 25.2 inches deep, and 25.6 inches high. The seat height is 15.7 inches, which is standard for most lounge chairs.
