About the Item
The GO system, designed by Pierre Chapo in 1983, is a modular furniture system that embodies Chapo’s principles of material, form, and function, here presented in a desk and closed cupboard setup:
The natural warm tones and expressive grain of the solid elmwood contribute to the piece’s organic appearance. Despite its unique aesthetic, the GO Bookcase maintains a clear connection to Chapo’s functional and material-driven approach to furniture design.

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.
