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 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...
