- Pierre Chapo Large Wall Unit Model B17, French Elm, circa 1967By Pierre ChapoLocated in Santa Gertrudis, BalearesOriginal "B17" bookshelf by Pierre Chapo, circa 1967, in French elmwood. One of the most iconic piece of Pierre Chapo (1927-1986). In 1967, Pierre Chapo presented new creations at the Salon des Arts Ménagers, exhibiting the B17 bookshelf for the first time. This bookcase is fixed to the wall freeing up a lot of living space. The bookshelf, whose presence surprises by its discretion and elegance, by the harmony of the lines between the uprights and the shelves (in 50 mm sections) is accentuated by the originality of the support system.

Rightfully considered as the climax of the 1960s french seat...Category
