About the Item
Designed by French master craftsman Pierre Chapo (1927–1987), this round dining table exemplifies his devotion to honest construction, geometric clarity, and the expressive potential of solid wood. Chapo’s work emerged in the postwar decades when French design was shifting from ornate decorative traditions to a functionalist ethos that valued structure, proportion, and material integrity.
The table features a thick circular top supported by an architecturally striking tripod base—a design solution both sculptural and practical. The angled legs lock together in a tension-driven joinery system, a hallmark of Chapo’s philosophy that furniture should reveal its construction rather than conceal it. This structural truthfulness aligns Chapo with contemporaries such as Charlotte Perriand and Jean Prouvé, though his work remained rooted in artisanal cabinetmaking rather than industrial production.
Executed in solid elm wood, the piece carries the warm tones and expressive grain that Chapo selected for its durability and character. The table’s balance of simplicity and boldness exemplifies the “Modernisme rustique” spirit of French postwar design, where natural materials and timeless forms were elevated to modern living. Today, Pierre Chapo’s designs are celebrated for their enduring relevance, bridging architectural rigor with organic warmth.

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.
