About the Item
Set of 6 "S45A" French Solid Elmwood Chairs by Pierre Chapo, France ca. 1970s
Very good condition.
In thel late 1970s, Pierre Chapo's research took a new direction.
In 1979, he presented one of the most accomplished designer chairs of the 20th century: the S45, aka "Chlacc", the name of the patented manufacturing process for this type of furniture.
The S45 is composed of numerous small wood sctions joined and glued to each other. This process enabled Chapo to design a fine, lightweight structure with slender lines. The S45 chair is technically and conceptually difficult to make. The user's weight rests mainly on the crossed "Chlacc" feet and the solidity of the back is ensured by being ssecured to the two back legs, which stand at an angle of over 45°. Eleven assembly points join up the seven sections of the chair. The S45 is one of the most sculptural creations in the Chapo catalog, a design that bears not a passing resemblance to the iconic tower in the capital where its creator was born.

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.

Set of 4 S34 elmwood chairs by Pierre Chapo, early edition France 1970-1980
By Pierre Chapo
Located in Renens, CH
Beautiful set of 4 S34 dining chairs in solid elmwood by Pierre Chapo.
The S34 is today the rarest and most sought after chair design by Pierre Chapo and certainly one of the most sculptural chairs there is.
This set is an early edition probably 1970-1980.
The S34 chairs embody the spirit of craftsmanship of Pierre Chapo and the elegance of a brutalist design making them a statement piece in any carefully designed interior.
They're not just good-looking; they're built to last, which shows Chapo's commitment to making sustainable furniture.
