About the Item
Modular Elmwood Bookcase in the Style of Pierre Chapo, France, 1960s
This modular wall unit, crafted in solid elmwood, embodies the timeless aesthetic and craftsmanship associated with French design of the 1960s. Executed in the style of Pierre Chapo, the piece showcases the sculptural simplicity, natural materials, and functional elegance that defined his approach.
The bookcase is composed of three vertical elm uprights that support a series of cabinets and shelving modules. Its configuration includes lower storage cabinets with double doors, an open display shelf, an upper cabinet, a side cabinet with double doors, and a cabinet with a drop-down door. The modular design allows for versatile arrangements, offering both closed storage and open display options within a single architectural framework.
The elmwood construction presents a beautiful warm honey tone, enhanced by visible grain patterns and a remarkable original patina that has developed over time. The recessed vertical and horizontal handles are typical of Chapo’s vocabulary—subtle yet functional design choices that emphasize form and structure without ornamentation. The piece is freestanding and designed with balance and proportion in mind, making it a striking addition to both modern and eclectic interiors.
Measuring 235 cm in height (92.5 inches), 207 cm in width (81.5 inches), and 46 cm in depth (18.1 inches), the wall unit is both imposing and practical. Its generous storage capacity and modular composition make it ideal for use in a living room, library, or office.
In good original condition with an amazing patina, this elmwood wall unit stands as a testament to French mid-century craftsmanship. While evocative of Pierre Chapo’s celebrated designs, it remains unique in its construction and character, offering collectors and design enthusiasts an opportunity to own an authentic piece of 1960s French modernism.
