About the Item
Pierre Chapo “S28” dining chairs for Atelier Pierre Chapo, elm, France, 1972, set of four.
The "S28" dining chairs, designed by Pierre Chapo in 1972, represent a clear transition from mid-century to modernist design. This set of chairs, crafted from elm, showcases geometric seats and backrests with tapered legs. The wood grain is perfectly aligned, highlighting the natural beauty of the material. The backrest features an indentation for easy grip and movement, a practical yet elegant detail.
Chapo was inspired by the traditional Alsatian house style and decided to modernize the classic Alsatian chair. The S28 chairs reflect this inspiration with their refined craftsmanship and modernist aesthetic. The backrest is made from a single piece of elm wood, while the seat is crafted from solid elm, and the four legs splay outward, providing stability and a sleek look.
Chapo's story is one of self-taught talent, working with raw materials, and a relentless pursuit of modernist ideals. The finely worked wood is lightly protected to showcase the natural motifs, adding to the chair's authenticity and charm.

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.

Set of 4 S34 elmwood chairs by Pierre Chapo, early edition France 1970-1980
By Pierre Chapo
Located in Renens, CH
Beautiful set of 4 S34 dining chairs in solid elmwood by Pierre Chapo.
The S34 is today the rarest and most sought after chair design by Pierre Chapo and certainly one of the most sculptural chairs there is.
This set is an early edition probably 1970-1980.
The S34 chairs embody the spirit of craftsmanship of Pierre Chapo and the elegance of a brutalist design making them a statement piece in any carefully designed interior.
They're not just good-looking; they're built to last, which shows Chapo's commitment to making sustainable furniture.
