Form Follows Function: The Hooks on This Simple Charlotte Perriand Wall Rack
Designed for the Les Arcs ski resort
This simple pine wall rack was used to hang coats in a French ski resort in the 1960s.
Not just any ski resort: The Les Arcs resort in Savoie, famously designed by Charlotte Perriand leading a team of fellow architects.
Perriand was known for her minimalist style, and I'm smitten by how simple and perfectly functional the rack is. Just simple dowels, each with two cuts to turn them into hooks: The angled one to let gravity capture the garment, the vertical one to stop it from sliding off.
Antiques being antiques, the dealer's asking for $1,000-plus.

It would be interesting to see how much an authorized replica from Cassina would cost. I picture a variant in which the four hooks have the white, red, green, and blue colors of Le Corbusier's LC17 coat rack.
