About the Item

Chest of Drawers, Solid Elm, France, 1970s In the Spirit of Pierre Chapo This three-drawer chest is an ode to essential form—a study in proportion, weight, and grain. Carved from solid French elm, its presence is both grounded and lyrical, revealing a reverence for material that aligns with the early works of Pierre Chapo. Every line is intentional; every surface invites the hand. Likely crafted in the 1970s, the piece echoes Chapo’s ethos of radical simplicity—where function is inseparable from sculpture, and joinery becomes the language of design. The drawer fronts, carved from thick planks, protrude with quiet rhythm. Rounded legs, squared edges, and forged ring pulls complete a composition that feels both utilitarian and deeply sculptural. The elm, finished in our gallery’s signature bleaching technique, is left bare to accentuate its grain’s inherent dynamism—flame-like ripples, knotting, and undulations that shift subtly in changing light. Unlike oak’s stoic uniformity, elm brings a wilder, more expressive patterning—one that commands attention without ornament. Time has gently marked the surface: oxidized hardware, a small natural fissure, softened corners. These are not flaws, but signs of honest age and artisanal origin. The piece is structurally sound, with drawers that glide smoothly. Perfect as a nightstand, console, or punctuation piece in a minimalist interior, it speaks to those who seek weight without heaviness—who understand that true luxury lies in material integrity and cultural lineage. Available for private acquisition. Inquiries from collectors and interior specialists are welcome.
