Pierre Chapo, S18Y “Love Seat” Bench in Elm and Patinated Leather, France, 1970s

About the Item

Pierre Chapo, S18Y “Love Seat” Bench in Elm and Patinated Leather, France, 1970s A rare and architecturally refined S18Y “Love Seat” bench by Pierre Chapo, crafted in his own workshop in France during the 1970s. This model showcases Chapo’s renowned 48x72 joinery system—an innovative assembly technique in which the crosspieces intersect at four strong, weight-bearing points, offering both structural integrity and elegant design. Constructed from solid French elm, the frame displays a warm, golden tone with beautifully grained texture that highlights the material’s natural quality. The bench retains its original thick saddle leather upholstery in a rich cognac hue. The leather exhibits visible traces of use and a well-developed patina, adding warmth, authenticity, and depth to the piece without compromising comfort or integrity. The gently reclined backrest and deep seat, paired with broad armrests and generous cushions, make this loveseat exceptionally comfortable. The back features two sculpted leather corners, exemplifying Chapo’s meticulous attention to both functionality and aesthetics. This design stands out in Chapo’s oeuvre, embodying a perfect balance of proportion, material, and craftsmanship. Its compact scale and refined geometry make it an ideal accent piece for both minimalist and richly layered interiors. The S18Y is a powerful example of Chapo’s philosophy: design driven by logic, structure, and the inherent beauty of honest materials. Often compared to the work of Charlotte Perriand for its artisanal precision and raw elegance, Chapo’s legacy continues to gain significant international recognition.
