About the Item
Pierre Chapo, the Paris-born designer, was deeply influenced by modernist principles and the Bauhaus movement and is celebrated for his masterful woodworking and architectural precision. Trained as an architect, Chapo’s work embodies a profound respect for materials, form, and function, crafting furniture that is both structurally sound and visually compelling. His designs draw from the teachings of icons like Charlotte Perriand and Le Corbusier to create timeless, sculptural pieces like this dining set.
The "SFAX T21 D" table and "S38A" benches that make up this set are hallmark examples of Chapo’s dedication to flawless craftsmanship and design. The sculptural quality of the set stands out, combining well-though-out curves with perfect angles. The table is constructed from solid elm, showcasing expert joinery. Its angled legs converge in a striking star-shaped arrangement, secured by a central metal rod that functions as a stabilising core. The tabletop highlights the elm’s warm tone and rich grain, emphasizing the natural beauty of the piece. The accompanying "S38A" benches, designed in 1973, mirror this architectural sensibility. Crafted from the same material, the benches feature a three-legged base that provides exceptional stability while maintaining a fluid, organic form. The split seat design not only enhances the visual appeal but also serves as a practical structural feature, reinforced by stretchers that connect the legs and unify the look.
Together, these models form a cohesive, visually compelling set that exemplifies Chapo’s mastery of woodworking and his architectural approach to furniture design. Whether placed in a contemporary dining space or a rustic setting, this set invites both functionality and artistry, capturing the essence of Pierre Chapo’s enduring legacy.

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.
