About the Item
Pierre Chapo, the celebrated French designer, is renowned for his meticulous craftsmanship and innovative approach to woodworking. Trained as an architect in Paris, Chapo was deeply influenced by the principles of proportion, form, and the natural beauty of materials, philosophy that underpinned all of his furniture designs. His work often features bold, architectural lines and a reverence for traditional joinery, seamlessly blending structural integrity with visual elegance.
This S24 dining chair, created in 1967, captures Chapo’s distinctive aesthetic in every detail. It is constructed from solid elm, a material favoured by Chapo for its warm, organic character and robust durability. The chair features a simple, honest construction that highlights the natural grain and rich tone of the elm, celebrating the wood's inherent beauty. The design is defined by straight, geometric lines, which give the chair a sense of structural clarity and understated elegance. The tan leather seat, secured by being tied on the bottom, develops a rich patina over time, enhancing the chair’s charm and complementing the deep hues of the elm. This use of visible hardware underscores Chapo’s philosophy of honest construction, where even the functional details contribute to the visual appeal. The chair’s sturdy frame and inviting materials embody the rustic modernism that is central to Chapo’s style.
This chair would be a striking addition to any dining space, seamlessly blending robust construction with a refined simplicity that speaks to Chapo’s architectural roots. Its timeless design ensures it will elevate any setting, offering not only comfort but also a quiet sophistication that endures across generations.

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.
