LC17 Coat Rack
Made by Cassina
Designed by Le Corbusier
Designed by Le Corbusier in 1957 and re-introduced by Cassina, the LC17 Coat Rack is among the rare domestic objects to carry the imprint of the Modulor, his harmonic scale of proportions derived from the human body and the golden ratio. Each knob placement is not a matter of intuition but of mathematical interval, governed by the same system Le Corbusier applied to architecture at the scale of entire buildings.
The structure is crafted in solid oak, warm and considered against the geometric precision of the form. The distinctive mushroom-cap knobs vary in height according to the Modulor sequence, giving the piece a rhythm that reads as both functional and compositional. It occupies a small footprint without diminishing its presence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Modulor and how does it apply to the LC17?
The Modulor is Le Corbusier's proprietary system of proportion based on the human body and the golden ratio. On the LC17, the heights at which the coat hooks are positioned follow intervals derived from this mathematical sequence, meaning the object embeds the same proportional logic Le Corbusier used in buildings such as the Unité d'Habitation.
When was the LC17 Coat Rack originally designed?
Le Corbusier designed the LC17 in 1957, late in his career, when his interest in the Modulor as a universal design language was fully developed. Cassina later re-introduced it as part of the authorized LC collection produced under license from the Le Corbusier Foundation.
What materials is the Cassina LC17 made from?
The LC17 is constructed from solid oak, chosen for its structural integrity and natural warmth. The mushroom-cap knobs are finished in multiple colors, adding a playful counterpoint to the rigorous proportional system underlying the piece.
Is the LC17 suitable for small entryways?
Yes. Le Corbusier designed the LC17 with a compact footprint, making it well suited to domestic entryways and smaller spaces. Its vertical organization allows it to accommodate multiple garments without requiring significant floor area.
How does Cassina authenticate its Le Corbusier pieces?
Cassina holds an exclusive license from the Fondation Le Corbusier to produce and market furniture designed by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand. Each piece in the LC collection is manufactured in Italy according to documented original specifications and carries a certificate of authenticity.
