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.

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.
