Pierre Chapo B17 (B) Wall Bookshelf 226 CM 1960's
About the Item
An instantly recognizable Pierre Chapo wall hanging bookshelf consists of 4 horizontal solid elm slats that rests under 8 brackets. Chapo playfully turned this around and put the brackets on top, fixing the construction with elm wedges. This way the brackets also function as bookends.
One of the very first editions, the wood shows a stunning grain and patina.
There is a very minor restoration to one edge of horizontal slat show in last picture.

- Pierre Chapo, "B17 LONGUE" Bookshelf, circa 1967By Pierre ChapoLocated in New York, NY"B17 Longue" bookshelf by Pierre Chapo, circa 1967, in elmwood. Beautiful example of the timeless design mastery 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. The B 17 is fixed to the wall, freeing up considerable floor space. The bookshelf, whose presence surprises by its discretion and elegance, comes in several versions of differing lengths and heights. The harmony of the lines between the uprights and the shelves (in 50 mm sections) is accentuated by the originality of the support system. Supports, as their name implies, normally prop up the shelves of a piece of furniture or else the jutting parts of buildings. Pierre Chapo decided not to take this universal law into account and modeled a support that fits into the upright, which means the shelf can be solidly fixed under its support. In a balance between gravity and the forces at play, the more weight goes on the shelf, the better its components slot into the upright. Literature: Magen H...Category
