French Coat Rack in Pinewood attributed to Charlotte Perriand for Les Arcs, 1960s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Coat rack with three hangers designed by Charlotte Perriand for Les Arcs, a ski resort in the Alps.

The project was one of the largest in Perriand's career. She was then in her 60s, at the peak of her career in 1967 when she was asked to join the project to lead a team of young architects to create a ski resort in the alpine landscape.

As a feminist and socialist, Charlotte Perriand wanted to bring her egalitarian attitude to the architecture and interior design of Les Arcs. The apartments were created to be affordable and filled with beautiful and durable objects she designed specifically for each building.

Manufactured in France in the 1960s or 1970s. Made of solid pinewood.
Origin: An apartment of one of the Les Arcs ski resorts.

In good original condition, wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina.

About the Creator

Charlotte Perriand

Born in Paris in 1903, Charlotte Perriand studied at the Ecole de l’Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs. In 1927, inspired by his architectural treatises, Perriand persuaded Le Corbusier to employ her. He put her in charge of prototype production and public presentations of the studio’s work. In collaboration with Pierre Jeanneret, Perriand developed a series of tubular steel chairs, which were—and are still today—hailed as icons of the machine age.

In 1940, she travelled to Japan as an official advisor on industrial design. When Japan joined the war, she found herself trapped in Vietnam from 1942 until 1946. During her exile, Perriand studied local techniques of woodwork and weaving. She returned to France intent on introducing straw and bamboo to modern design.

Back in France, Perriand continued her work with Le Corbusier and Prouvé. She was integral to the design of Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation in Marseille. She remained an influential figure in the modern movement until her death in 1999.
