Pierre Jeanneret File Rack

Designed by Pierre Jeanneret, the File Rack PJ-R-27-B is a refined example of mid-century functional modernism, where utility and architectural clarity are inseparable.

Originally conceived for administrative and institutional use, the piece is defined by its clean geometry and disciplined proportions. Solid wood construction is paired with slanted vertical supports, creating a dynamic yet balanced silhouette that feels both structural and light. The open rack format allows files, books, or magazines to be stored and accessed with ease, emphasizing Jeanneret’s commitment to practicality without ornament.

The PJ-R-27-B reflects Jeanneret’s broader design philosophy: honest materials, visible structure, and forms derived directly from function. Its understated elegance and rhythmic lines give it a timeless presence, allowing it to transition seamlessly from office to living space.
