Pierre Chapo Sofas
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.

Rare first production L07 extendable daybed sofa designed by Pierre Chapo and manufactured in his own atelier, France 1963.

The later ones have this connection invisible, probably because it was much easier to make like that. The daybed is made of solid elm wood and can be turned from a 2 persons bet to a 2 persons bed by extending it due to an ingeinous sliding mechanism. Beautiful hand crafted bed by one of the most important French designers of his era. Pierre Chapo belongs in the same list of designers...
