About the Item
Pierre Chapo “B40” Desk for Chapo Création, elm, France, 1970
Designed in the early 1970s by Pierre Chapo, the B40 desk exemplifies the sculptural clarity and craftsmanship that define the French designer’s production. Built entirely in solid wood—here in a rare black-stained elm version—the piece is composed of a monumental top resting on two symmetrical drawer blocks, which serve as both structural supports and storage elements. The chamfered edges and visible grain patterns enhance the expressive potential of the material, while the construction reveals Chapo’s deep knowledge of carpentry and architectural balance.
The B40 embodies a dialogue between geometry and mass, purpose and proportion—where every joint is structural, every line intentional. Part of a broader exploration of modular and architectural forms, the B40 aligns with Chapo’s lifelong research on golden ratio proportions and traditional craftsmanship. Its formal language resonates with the radical naturalism of Charlotte Perriand and the tectonic essentialism of designers like Donald Judd or Afra & Tobia Scarpa, offering a vision of modernism rooted in structure and substance. Chapo’s voice remains unmistakably his own: grounded, tactile, and rhythmically precise—a desk that transcends function, becoming one of a kind.

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.
