Le Corbusier’s Modulor tape
This tape is issued by the Vitra Design Museum and is based on the Le Modulor system by Le Corbusier. According to the web site, “Regarded as the most important modern attempt to develop a mathematically coherent measurement, the Modulor is a system based on the proportions of the human body. Le Corbusier s corresponding book on the subject, Le Modulor, is still valued as an essential work in the field of modern architectural history. During the architect s lifetime only a few samples of this measuring tape were created - for his personal use in the design of building projects. An original artefact in the holdings of the Fondation Le Corbusier served as the model for this new edition by the Vitra Design Museum.”
Like they note, could make a perfect gift for a budding architect.
