Pierre Chapo (1927-1987) is a French furniture designer, who fell in love with wood after meeting a naval carpenter, who enrolled at the Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1947. He interspersed his studies with numerous trips to the Scandinavian countries, the United States and Central America. On his return to France, he founded his practice and continued his woodworking with different species: oak, ash and elm. In 1957, he opened his gallery in Paris and exhibited his creations as well as those of other designers such as Serge Mouille, Isamu Noguchi and Charlotte Perriand. He will then receive his first orders such as the “Godot” bed ordered by Samuel Beckett. In 1960, he received the gold medal at the Arts and Crafts Techniques exhibition, organized by the city of Paris. He developed his furniture manufacturing workshop in Clamart and participated in several development projects. In 1967, he exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs and won the bronze medal. It also subcontracts with three workshops in the Vosges, including Seltz cabinetmakers. Towards the end of his life, he gave a series of conferences around wood, cabinetmaking, tradition and creation. His work will revolve, throughout his career, around creations in solid wood, combining contemporary design and traditional craftsmanship, to offer us refined and organic creations.

- Pierre Chapo Set of Six "S34" Elm Wood Chairs, France, 1960sBy Pierre ChapoLocated in Utrecht, NLDining room chair “S34” has the playful and majestic characteristics typical of Pierre Chapo's emblematic creations. Asymmetrical, yet perfectly balanced, this model belongs with the designer’s famous “Sfax” table. This model is one of those designs where the aesthetic is elevated, and the individual features enhanced when the same models are put together. Said aesthetic is based on the cross-legged base that corresponds to the design of the backrest, which is slightly offset from the middle. Made from Chapo's favourite wood, elm, these chairs have a rustic style with architectural precision. This comes as no surprise, as Pierre Chapo trained as an architect in Paris and this knowledge becomes evident in his elaborate structural solutions. The slightly more rounded edges show that these chairs are an older, authentic version of the “S34” model. The cross-legged bases match the backs that are slightly placed out of the middle, enhancing the masterful asymmetry that not only distinguishes the design, but also adds a sense of playfulness. The overall look is very sleek, and combined with details like the visible joinery and the solid wooden structure, this set is perfectly imperfect, which is a conscious, Chapo-esque ideal. Chapo's work originated by means of special commissions that would later be adapted to universal needs. Chapo was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's balanced lines, Corbusier's research on proportions and the Bauhaus. The three principles that motivated Pierre Chapo were material, form, and function. Despite his love for the imperfect, he measured his furniture by means of the golden ratio and used elm wood as his preferred material. These “S34” chairs...Category
