Pierre Chapo Pair of S340 Leather Armchairs - Elm - France - Mid Century Modern

About the Item

Very rare pair of discontinued, majestic armchairs by Pierre Chapo - model S340 (1972) - Might be the only pair of this model available on global the market - It has some resemblance with the S10 model and the S15 and has the designer’s characteristic wood “interlocking” joinery that is impeccable and testifies of his woodworking mastery. Handcrafted from solid elm and cognac leather, meticulously restored to bring out the chairs' beauty, while preserving the desirable patina and evidence of age. Due to some minor imperfections, it might have been a prototype pair - nevertheless, it adds up to the mysterious aura of the armchairs. Pierre Chapo was first interested in painting, his encounter with a shipbuilding carpenter in 1947, introduced him to wood and woodworking and led him to architectural studies at the École Nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.[1] After traveling through Scandinavia, Central America, and working for a year in the United States, he returned to Paris and pursued his interest in wood, crafting furniture mainly out of solid oak, elm, ash, or teak with a double concern for contemporary design and traditional know-how. He opened a gallery on boulevard de l'Hôpital in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, where along with his own creations, he displayed the work of other craftsmen or artists such as Isamu Noguchi with whom he shared a sculptural and organic approach to design.
