LC17 Portemanteau Cassina

Description

Le Corbusier found the sweet spot between form and utility in his design for Cassina, the LC17 Portemanteau coat rack.

This coat rack's striking polychrome design allows it to complement a wide variety of decor styles while also adding a touch of understated sophistication to whichever room it's positioned in. The primary construction is made up of a rectangular panel made of solid oak, which is then surrounded by a series of cylinders that taper to a knob at the very top. Five distinct coloured knobs protrude from the framework that is mounted on the wall.

Each component is situated at a unique height, which was determined using the Modulor scale of proportions. This scale was developed by the architect Le Corbusier as a principle for creating architecture that was relatable to humans.
