About the Item

Pierre Chapo, bench L 09 H, elm and beige to green fabric, France, design 1960s. The piece is a true classic by Chapo in the way it is proportioned. The thick, cylindrical legs combined with the top that holds an asymetrical aesthetic with a square elmn top that can function as a table and three seating sections next to it. The position of the elements can be used freely as can be seen in the photos. The ratio between legs, top and cushions holds a timeless balance, which is why this Chapo bench has a timeless monumental aesthetic and durability. The frame, as always, is a solid french elm that holds a perfect warm color and patina. The fabric matches the design perfectly and is in useable, good condition. The fabric is most likely original but can also be reupholstered in the 1960s of 1970s. Pierre Chapo (1927-1987) was born in a family of craftsmen and trained as an architect in Paris. After spending many years traveling through south and north America he and his partner Nicole set up Société Chapo, an architectural research consultancy and interior design firm. 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. Chapo was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's balanced lines, Corbusier's research on proportions and Bauhaus. Societe Chapo was a design workshop and gallery in one where Nicole presented ceramics, textiles and other design by the great designers of the day. 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.
