Manufacture Claude-et-Duval, Industrial structure and UNESCO World Heritage Site in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, France

The Claude-et-Duval factory features a reinforced concrete structure on stilts with a glass facade protected by concrete sunshades and a rooftop terrace.

Following the 1944 fire that destroyed the original building, Jean-Jacques Duval commissioned Le Corbusier to design this new hosiery factory, completed in 1951.

The factory incorporates the Modulor system, where architectural measurements correspond directly to human body proportions, setting standards for industrial design.

The vertical layout organizes production flow from top to bottom, with raw materials delivered to the upper floor for cutting before moving down through processing stages.

This building remains the only industrial structure designed by Le Corbusier and continues to operate under the original Duval family ownership.

Location: Saint-Dié-des-Vosges

Architects: Le Corbusier

Part of: The Architectural Work of Le Corbusier

Address: Rue Le Corbusier (ex quai du Torrent) 88100

GPS coordinates: 48.29055,6.95043
