About the Item

S10 Lounge armchair by Pierre Chapo for Chapo Créations. The chair has leather arms and leather or unbleached canvas seats and back. The chairs are made to order and can be ordered in all quantities. Available in Elm or Oak. About the S10 chair: The Pierre Chapo S10 chair is an iconic piece of furniture designed by French designer Pierre Chapo. This chair reflects his distinctive approach to minimalist design, with the use of solid wood and an emphasis on craftsmanship. The S10 is an example of the perfect balance between form and function, typical of Chapo's work. Features of the S10 chair: Material: The chair is often crafted from solid oak or elm, materials Chapo frequently used for their durability and natural beauty. The wood is usually untreated or lightly finished to highlight its natural grain and color. Design: The S10 features a clean and simple design, with a square seat and a straight backrest. The legs and joints are executed with precision, without unnecessary decorations, allowing the beauty of the wood to take center stage. The chair has a sturdy, robust look but remains elegant due to its refined proportions and clear lines. Construction: The wood joints are meticulously crafted, a hallmark of Chapo’s work. The chair has a modular structure, meaning it can be easily disassembled and reassembled, an important feature of Chapo’s functional approach to design. The S10 chair fits well in both modern and traditional interiors due to its timeless and versatile design. It is a classic example of Pierre Chapo's focus on simplicity, craftsmanship, and the use of natural materials. About Chapo: After the war, he took the entrance exam to the Beaux Arts in Paris in architecture. Classics, Greeks, Romans, Bauhaus masters Frank Lloyd Wright, Buckminster Fuller, Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe and many others inspire him. Returning from a trip to North America with his partner Nicole, they opened the Galerie Chapo in Paris 5th in 1958. Alongside his first pieces of furniture, he exhibits decorative objects, lighting, dishes, ceramics and Scandinavian design furniture. In his father-in-law's wood workshop in Clamart, he made his first models on his own, such as the L01, known as the Godot bed ordered by Samuel Beckett, the T01 table or the S01 stool. Not far from there, Boulevard Saint Germain, are installed Steph Simon, Knoll, Sentou, La Maison des Métiers d'Art... Artists, projects and works intersect, intermingle, help or compete: Scandinavia, Les Arcs, Serge Mouille, Charlotte Perriand, le Modulor, Georges Jouve, Japan, Simone Prouvé, Georges Candilis, Arne Jacobsen, Isamu Noguchi. Over 100 models created by Pierre Chapo will emerge over the years. Models that for many will remain inscribed in the history of 20th century design.
