Pierre Chapo "T14C" Dining Table with "D08" Extensions, circa 1964

About the Item

"T14C" dining table with "D08" extensions by Pierre Chapo (1927-1986), circa 1964, in elm wood. Great original condition, beautiful vintage patina. Measures: Table: 28.74 H x 72.05 W x 33.86 D inches 73 H x 183 W x 86 D cm Extensions: 15.35 x 33.86 inches 39 x 86 cm The S 14 bench is a versatile piece in the Chapo nomenclature. Initially planned as a seat for the large T 14 table, the S 14 bench borrows its base and pillar legs from the T 14 and its robust look from the S 01 stool. Pierre Chapo (1927-1987) Pierre Chapo was first interested in painting, but his encounter with a shipbuilding carpenter in 1947, introduced him to wood and woodworking, and led to architectural studies at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. After traveling through Scandinavia, Central America and working for a year in the United States, he returned to Paris and pursued his interest in wood, crafting furniture mainly out of solid oak, elm, ash or teak with a double concern for contemporary design and traditional know-how. He opened a gallery on boulevard de l’Hôpital in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, where along his own creations, he displayed the work of other craftsmen or artists such as Isamu Noguchi with whom he shared a sculptural and organic approach to design. It is in his studio of Clamart that he realizes his first models: the L01, says Godot, Ordered by Samuel Beckett, table T01 or stool S01. From the 1960s, he contributed to numerous projects led with Charlotte Perriand, Serge Mouille and Georges Jouve. Influenced by the work of Charlotte Perriand for the Alpine ski resort of Les Arcs, his participation in the 1967 Société des artistes décorateurs’ show brought him a bronze medal. That same year he moved to Gordes, near Avignon in Provence, and started his furniture business, producing his own bold, rugged designs anchored in tradition. Along his steady work on design he also gave lectures in France and abroad, on cabinet-making, joinery, wood, tradition, creation and sincerity. In 1983, Pierre Chapo was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease and died in 1987, shortly before his sixtieth birthday.

Pierre Chapo, "B17 LONGUE" Bookshelf, circa 1967
By Pierre Chapo
Located 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...
