About the Item
It’s not hard to see a few of Pierre Chapo’s sources of inspiration: Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, the Bauhaus. Before he and his wife Nicole created their atelier and gallery in 1958, they also traveled extensively in North and South America and absorbed ideas along the way. But Chapo’s work is unmistakable–sturdy yet sleek, simple but sophisticated.
The Sahara Chair is a deceptively simple design, a kind of design puzzle, built on the principle of the golden ratio.
The leather is new, so this beauty should hold up for many years to come.

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.
