Pierre Chapo B19 Desk in Solid Elm, France, 1960s

About the Item

Rare B19 desk by Pierre Chapo, designed in the late 1960s and executed in solid French elm. This architectural piece features Chapo’s characteristic blend of functionality and craftsmanship: a floating L-shaped top anchored by a drawer module with beautifully integrated horizontal pulls. The joinery and proportions reflect Chapo’s signature design vocabulary, inspired by both modernist principles and traditional French woodworking. The elm presents a stunning grain and warm patina, enhanced by years of careful preservation. Ideal for a design collector or an elegant workspace, this desk combines sculptural presence with practical usability. A timeless piece from one of France’s most respected post-war designers, fully restored and in excellent condition.
