Pair of Pierre Chapo S11 Chairs in Elm and Leather, France, 1960s
About the Item
Iconic S11 chair by French designer Pierre Chapo, crafted in the 1960s. This piece features a solid elm frame with Chapo's signature joinery, combining robust architecture and refined detail. The original saddle leather seat is beautifully patinated, showing natural wear that enhances its authenticity. The backrest has been expertly restored using tanned leather, hand-stitched to match the original design with care and precision. This chair is a striking example of Chapo’s functionalist approach, where material and form meet in perfect balance. Ideal for collectors of post-war French design or interiors seeking a strong sculptural statement. A rare opportunity to acquire an authentic piece with subtle, respectful restoration that maintains the chair’s character and integrity.

Pierre Chapo
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.
