Le Corbusier 50: stories of encounters that have revolutionised design, English Subtitles

A fascinating story which retraces the life of the renowned architect and the meetings which led to the production of this collection of furniture exclusively produced for over 50 years by Cassina. Thanks to this story, which in parallel, recounts the worldwide diffusion of Italian style, it is possible to understand the true value of the production and the international diffusion of these modern icons. The 52 minute documentary underlines the importance of the research and innovation carried out by the Italian industry. By choosing Cassina, Le Corbusier demonstrated recognition of the industrial know-how of the Italian company which immediately accepted the challenge to produce these revolutionary items, unfamiliar at the time, introducing over the years a series of technical innovations to advance the products from a small artisanal production to an industrial manufacturing process. The documentary’s narration is enriched with a series of interviews with the most important architects, designers, historians and experts, from Richard Meier and Philippe Starck, to Jean-Louis Cohen and Karl Lagerfeld, as well as historical iconographic and video material provided by the Le Corbusier Foundation, the heirs of the co-authors, Cassina’s Historical Archives and footage from the production house 3D.
