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.

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

Beautiful hand crafted bed by one of the most important French designers of his era. Pierre Chapo belongs in the same list of designers...
