About the Item
A very rare copy of the already lesser-known model R05 from the hand of Pierre Chapo. Almost all of his designs that have seen the light of day and have been completed in the Chapo workshop are made of solid elm. Different types of hardwood were used in the workshop to create prototypes. For this R05 dressing table, which has the title “coiffeuse a sept tiroirs” in the original catalog, a dark walnut wood has been used that has acquired a beautiful warm, golden patina over the years. The starting point of the basis of Chapo's designs is always based on the golden ratio and follows the strict principles of form, function, and material. With this R05 we see, among other things, the well-known dovetail joints and notches on the ends. Seven handle-less drawers of different sizes each show a beautiful color shade of walnut wood. Gold streaks alternate with dark blond lines. Precisely because the regular designs are made of elm, it is all the more special that a completely solid walnut has been used here. It even contributes to the adage of Chapo who, as Hugues Magen explains, developed his own signature that was never exaggerated, but rather a combination of the raw material and modern refined design. The clean lines of the drawers, which relate wonderfully to the emptiness next to them, are, as it were, framed by the top and the side parts. In short, beauty in all its simplicity. This beautiful item is in very good condition with minimal traces of use. We also have the matching mirror.

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.

Free-hanging Console or Desk In Walnut, Italy 1960's
Located in Hellouw, NL
A refined sharpness combined with elegance are the first things that come to mind when describing this Italian free-hanging console completely veneered in walnut. The contours and clean lines are reminiscent of the designs of Ico Parisi.
Design
At first the lines seem straight, but if we look closely at the raised beam or edge, we see that it actually consists of a pyramid shape. In this case, this geometric shape ensures a soft transition from the top to the wall. Because the side panels also slope towards the rear, the ensemble of lines is complete and feels harmonious.Viewed along the length, the console is slim and this also creates a kind of dynamism or speed. On the left side there are two drawers with handles, subtly placed. On the right side of these drawers, a space has been left free where a narrow chair...
