Manufacture Claude-et-Duval
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.
