Pierre Chapo Armchairs

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 S10 Lounge Chair, France, 1964
By Pierre Chapo
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
Fantastic original model S10 lounge chair designed by Pierre Chapo and manufactured in his own atelier in Gordes, France 1964. This chair has a solid elm wooden frame which has an exquisite, detailed structure which is refined with Chapo’s signature mortise and tenon joints. The elm wood has a nice honey coloured wood toon and shows interesting grains to the structure. These signature joints are the assembly principle which allowed Chapo to extend his catalogue in 1964. The S10 became quickly one of the leading models at the Chapo gallery. The chair has a moveable back which brings more comfort when sitting on it as the back will adjust itself to your position. The chair has its original natural leather which is in good condition with a beautiful and original authentic patina which gives the chair a lot of extra character and makes it also more unique. This chair is a very early production, the woodworking details of this design are visible in the book by M Hagen...
