Original French Design: Pierre Chapo, Five Legged T21 Round Dining Table, 1970s
About the Item
An original 1970s T21, five legged Sfax table by Pierre Chapo.
Taken from page 71, “Pierre Chapo” – Magen H Gallery:
“The design of the T21 table had to be studied very precisely: no miscalculations were possible and the proportions had to be finely tuned, for the goal was to combine a perfect angle of inclination between the legs and the top, but also to calculate the degree that each leg need to be shaped in relation to the top, where all the legs would be assembled together. Lodged like a bolt in the heart of the converging axis, a pentagonal piece of wood maintains the structure.”
French elmwood is due to the Dutch elm disease extremely rare to find these days, and recent editions are generally made of oak or imported elmwood which have a completely different appearance compared to the warm, vintage look of an aged Chapo piece.
Note that many of the new Chapo Creations' produced furniture use photos of vintage pieces, do not fall for this deception!

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.
