Lovely coffee table. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pierre Chapo est né dans le 19e arrondissement de Paris, mais en 1937 la famille s'installe à Vierzon, dans le Cher, le jeune homme s'essaie à la peinture. Puis rencontre en 1947 un charpentier de marine; dans son atelier il découvre le travail du bois, et décide de s'inscrire à l'École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts, section architecture avec Henri Larrieu et Louis Aublet. Les études sont entrecoupées de voyages vers les pays scandinaves, du service militaire en Allemagne, ainsi que d'un périple d'un an en Amérique centrale et un stage dans un cabinet d'architectes en Arizona. De retour en France, Pierre Chapo poursuit le travail du bois essentiellement le chêne, le frêne et l'orme massif qu'il articule avec le double intérêt qu'il porte au design contemporain et au savoir-faire de l'artisanat traditionnel. Après quelques années, il ouvre une galerie boulevard de l'Hôpital, où il expose ses réalisations ainsi que celles d'autres créateurs comme Isamu Noguchi avec lequel il partage une approche sculpturale et organique, il reçoit ses premières commandes parmi lesquelles un lit simple demandé par Samuel Beckett. En 1960, lors de l'exposition Arts et techniques de l'artisanat, son travail est reconnu par la ville de Paris dont il reçoit la Médaille d'or. Puis c'est le développement de l'atelier de fabrication de meubles, à Clamart et la participation à plusieurs projets avec des fabricants et des aménagements avec différents architectes-maitres d’œuvre dont le travail de certains comme Charlotte Perriand pour la station des Arcs l’influencera6 et dont il éditera plus tard une table basse. En 1967, il expose au Salon des artistes décorateurs et remporte la Médaille de bronze de la Société d'encouragement à l'art et à l'industrie9. Cette même année, il s'installe à Gordes et y crée sa société et son usine qui vend et fabrique les meubles audacieux et robustes, en bois massif qu'il dessine, tout en conservant l'atelier de Clamart et la boutique de Paris, étendant son réseau avec des dépositaires à Bruxelles et dans plusieurs villes de France...

Vintage Brutalist Round Oak Coffee Table: A Statement of Timeless French Elegance Transform your living space with the powerful presence of this Brutalist Vintage Round Solid Oak Coffee Table from France. Measuring 92 cm in diameter and standing at a solid 42 cm in height, this stunning piece brings together the rugged charm of Brutalism with the warm sophistication of French vintage design. Crafted from high-quality solid oak, its natural grain and rich tones make it a timeless centerpiece, perfect for those looking to make a bold yet refined statement in their interior. Why Choose Brutalist Vintage? Brutalist vintage furniture stands out for its robust structure, minimalist aesthetic, and inherent character, all of which are perfectly embodied in this round coffee table. Unlike delicate styles, Brutalism emphasizes strong, unembellished forms and earthy materials, creating a sense of raw beauty that ages gracefully over time. The solid oak used in this table not only enhances its durability but also gives it a rich texture and patina that add warmth and depth to any room. Styling Tips for Your Brutalist Oak Coffee Table To complement the Brutalist aesthetic, pair this round oak coffee table with similarly bold and textured elements: Layer with a Neutral Rug: Place the table on a thick, neutral-toned rug in materials like wool or jute to ground the piece and add subtle contrast. Add Soft Contrasts: Use plush, oversized cushions or a leather sofa with minimalistic lines to balance the table's rugged form with softer, luxurious textures. Mix with Metal Accents: Incorporate industrial-style metal accessories—think iron candleholders, a steel tray, or a simple brass bowl. The juxtaposition of metal with solid oak adds a modern twist. Natural Elements: Highlight the oak's warmth with natural decor pieces such as stone coasters, clay pottery, or lush green plants, bringing in an organic balance that enhances the Brutalist vibe. Statement Lighting: For evening ambiance, use a bold floor lamp...
