Product description
Pierre Chapo 'T21' round dining table in solid elm, composed of a thick top with a natural veining and five crossed feet. The joints visible on the edge of the tabletop are typical of the creations of master woodworker Pierre Chapo. Not only the basic design and construction but also the use of solid elm wood characterizes his work. The interesting base of the table is built with just five legs with angled edges to provide a stable, dynamic construction. It gives the solid table a playful and striking, but also functional expression. The thick top of this well-sized table has an angled edge, all well-proportioned.
Pierre Chapo (1927-1987) was born in a family of craftsmen and trained as an architect in Paris. After spending many years traveling through south and North America he and his partner Nicole set up Société Chapo, an architectural research consultancy and interior design firm. In 1958 they opened their famous gallery at 14 Boulevard de l'Hôpital. Chapo's work originated by means of special commissions that could later be adapted to universal needs. Chapo was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's balanced lines, Le Corbusier's research on proportions, and Bauhaus. Société Chapo was a design workshop and gallery in one where Nicole presented ceramics, textiles, and other designs by the great designers of the day. The three principles that motivated Pierre Chapo were 'material, form, and function.' He measured his furniture by means of the golden ratio and used elmwood as his preferred material.
