Pierre Chapo Daybeds
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.

Sculptural form brass day bed by Osvaldo Borsani, Arredamento Borsani, circa 1958
By Arnaldo Pomodoro, Osvaldo Borsani, Arredamenti Borsani
Located in bergen op zoom, NL
Beautiful and important sculpturakl form brass single bed or day bed circa 1958-1963 by Osvaldo Borsani for 'Arredamento Borsani', Varedo , Italy.
The small series of Borsani beds designed were produced in several different designs ,each in very limited numbers and all hand made by the Arredamento Borsani in Varedo, italy. This series of beds never went into serial industrial production , a fact confirmed to me by the Arredamento Borsani archives.
Beginning in the late 1950s,Osvaldo Borsani went on to collaborate with many great artists such as Lucio Fontana, Fausto Melotti, Agenore Fabbri, Aligi Sassu and Arnaldo Pomodoro, amongst others entrusting each to provide decorative elements to his designs.
The brass headboard features a series of heavy cast solid brass interlocking geometric elements each featuring a beautiful organic three dimensional surface finish creating a supremely elegant and timeless repetitive motif . The bed still retains all its original decorative brass nuts ,bolts and finials which feature the same three dimensional decorative finish as the decorative sculptural forms contained in the headboard.
We have had a new bespoke mattress and bolster pillow made with a natural latex foam surface as they would have originally had which also has the benefit that latex breathes. The mattress has an opulent decorative buttoned finish . Botht the mattress and pillow have been finished in 100% wool 'PLOEGWOOL' fabric by the high quality Dutch fabric manufacturer DE PLOEG.
MATTRESS DIMENSIONS :
Width 100cm x length 200cm / 3ft 3.37inch x 6ft 6.74inch
BOLSTER PILLOW DIMENSIONS:
Width 100cm diameter 24cm / 3ft 3.37inch x 9.45inch
The mattress is supported on a 20mm ( 0.75 inch ) thick plywood board ,with breathing holes, which spans across the transverse brass plated steel frame elements.

Pierre Chapo L07 Extendable Daybed, Oak, Mid-Century Modern, France, 1963
By Pierre Chapo
Located in Antwerp, BE
Pierre Chapo; L07; Extendable daybed; bench; side table; coffee table; Wood; Oak; France; 1963; Mid-Century Modern; Charlotte Perriand; Jean Prouvé; French Design;
What makes this ingenious item so exceptional is that it offers various possibilities to complement your interior: it can be used as a daybed, a bench or even a coffee table. The extendable feature not only provides the option of using the item in different ways but also gives it a different look. It's a fine example of Chapo's sophisticated designs.
This daybed, known as model L07, is made of slats of solid oak wood. A rare first production designed by Pierre Chapo and manufactured in his own atelier in France in 1963. This technical masterpiece was from the very first production which had the visible dowel connections of how the slats were attached to the frame. This connection is made invisible in the following productions, most likely because it was easier to manufacture it that way. The modular structure allows being transformed from a bench or single daybed...
