About the Item

Pierre Chapo, daybed with drawer model 'L03', France, circa 1965. This design is an early edition, created according to the original craft methodology of Pierre Chapo. The bed has storage underneath in the shape of a large drawer with wheels. The bed features the handcrafted joints that the woodworker Chapo is known for. The elm has patinated over time. With the furniture that is designed by Chapo, the patina can make the difference between a great and a truly unique piece. The patina adds depth, character and authenticity, which is why this bed in its current condition might be even more beautiful than at the time when it was made. Pierre Chapo (1927-1987) was born in a family of craftsmen and trained as an architect at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Already from a young age, he felt the need to roam the world. He was only twenty-one when he left France in order to spend the next few years traveling through England and Scandinavia. In December of 1951, he was living back in Paris, where he met his future wife, Nicole. Their meeting was the beginning of a lifelong union. Together, the lovebirds travelled through South and North America being captivated by the architectural diversity. Back in France, he and his partner Nicole set up Société Chapo in 1957. Société Chapo was a design workshop and gallery in one where he showed his own creations. However, Nicole also presented her ceramics, and textiles here and they even exhibited other great designers of that period. In 1958, they opened their famous gallery at 14 Boulevard de l'Hopital. Chapo's work originated by means of special commissions that could later be adapted to universal needs. Throughout his career, Chapo combined his interest for contemporary design with his love for traditional craftsmanship. In his designs, he was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's balanced lines, Corbusier's research on proportions and the ideas of Bauhaus. The three principles that motivated Pierre Chapo were 'material, form, and function.' He measured his furniture by means of golden ratio and used elmwood as his preferred material. Unfortunately, Chapo fell ill, and he died in 1987, however, until his last day, he kept on designing and working. The price listed is including the mattress and pillow. These items are custom made in our in-house atelier by experienced craftsmen and -women, and have a lead-time. We kindly ask you to reach out to our design specialists for more detailed information.
