Pierre Chapo Mid-Century Modern B17 Book Shelves, circa 1960

About the Item

Wall book shelves designed by Pierre Chapo, circa 1960 in France. Manufactured by Pierre Chapo in Elmwood. In original condition, with wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina. The lower back part of the wood structure has some looses on the wood as shown on the photos. Pierre Chapo is born in a family of craftsmen. After his regular studies, he worked in the workshop of a navy carpenter. He was graduated architect in 1958 from the Ecole Nationale Supe´rieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, after having travelled in the United States and in Europe. He opened his own workshop first in Clamart as well as a shop in Paris. Chapo's work was inspired by Charlotte Perriand. Ten years later he settled down in Gordes, where he based the Socie´te´ Chapo. He then dedicated himself mainly to his work as a carpenter and a cabinetmaker and gave a series of lectures about his great passion, wood.   The piece will be shipped demounted.
