Pierre Chapo Cabinets
French, 1927-1987
Pierre Chapo, who was born in Paris, France, in July 1927, was initially interested in becoming a professional painter. However, after a chance meeting with a shipbuilder who introduced him to wood and woodworking, Chapo changed his focus and decided to study architectural studies at the prestigious École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
After graduating, Chapo and his wife, the sculptor and painter Nicole Lormier, started traveling extensively through Scandinavia and Central America. Among the many places the couple visited was Taliesin West, the home and studio of Frank Lloyd Wright — a visit that had a lasting influence on Chapo’s future work and designs.

Pierre Chapo Large Wall Unit Model B17, French Elm, circa 1967
By Pierre Chapo
Located in Santa Gertrudis, Baleares
Original "B17" bookshelf by Pierre Chapo, circa 1967, in French elmwood. One of the most iconic piece of Pierre Chapo (1927-1986). In 1967, Pierre Chapo presented new creations at the Salon des Arts Ménagers, exhibiting the B17 bookshelf for the first time. This bookcase is fixed to the wall freeing up a lot of living space. The bookshelf, whose presence surprises by its discretion and elegance, by the harmony of the lines between the uprights and the shelves (in 50 mm sections) is accentuated by the originality of the support system. Supports, as their name implies, normally prop up the shelves of a piece of furniture or else the jutting parts of buildings. Pierre Chapo decided not to take this universal law into account and modeled a support that fits into the upright, which means the shelf can be solidly fixed under its support. In a balance between gravity and the forces at play, the more weight goes on the shelf, the better its components slot into the upright. The wall unit is in the French Campagne style...

Pierre Chapo B10 Wardrobe in Elm, France, 1960
By Pierre Chapo
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
A very nice and minimal B10 wardrobe with adjustable shelves, designed by Pierre Chapo and was made in his own atelier in France, 1960. The B10 is one of the more familiar designs that Chapo made, as this was a modular principle what he designed, many different versions were made. This cabinet has a fantastic honey colour and beautiful patina to it. There are no significant marks of usage. The wood is honey coloured and has a lovely grain. There are a lot of woodworking details such as the typical corners and the almost invisible grip handles along the entire cabinets doors, making them a part of the design and not lose aesthetically beauty. The beautiful, crafted corner connections are of course a trademark for the designs by Chapo which he used in many of his designs. A nice detail is that the left door is wider then the right, which gives it a nice and interesting look. The cabinet has 2 shelves on the inside which are adjustable in different heights and there is also a brass bar to hang cloths...
