Sofa S32, Pierre Chapo, France, 1967
About the Item
To understand this is not a piece of furniture like any other, you have to immerse yourself in the Chapo philosophy !
Complementary, prolific and tireless, the creative couple Nicole and Pierre Chapo had an inspiring and exhilarating life.
After an initiatory trip to England and Scandinavia, Pierre met Nicole and the two set off on an adventure in 1955 to travel the length and breadth of America. It was at the end of this trip in a Ford T that the architectural and artistic influences left the imprint of the most beautiful future Chapo creations. The latter are still made today by their children. All in all, a beautiful family story !
Stopping at this point to describe the entire Chapo atmosphere would be reductive, but it would take several pages on this site to let their philosophy infuse and others have already done it very well.
Finally, to briefly return to this beautiful and smooth 3-seater S32 sofa, created in 1967, we need to observe the famous "48x72" joint, iconic Chapo signature, the choice of Elm for a very solid structure with deep golden reflections and all dressed in a thick camel leather that also serves as support for the backrest!
Generosity, simplicity and robustness are felt in Chapo furniture. His creations stand the test of time and survive trends.
Obviously, “You shouldn’t sit on just anything!” (Pierre Chapo).
This edition dates from the 80s, made during Chapo's lifetime. The whole shows a very beautiful patina, the leather is supple and in very good condition for its age. Uniform wear showing no significant damage such as tears or cracks. The foam is also in good condition for its age because it is well plumped and without sagging.
Do not hesitate before purchasing to ask for more photos or videos to get a better idea of the colors or condition.

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.
