About the Item

Pierre Chapo, sideboard, model 'R28', elm, France, circa 1980. This exquisitely crafted sideboard combines a simplified yet complex design combined with nifty, solid construction details that characterizes Chapo's work. Not so usual in Chapo his designs is the use of other materials than elm, this sideboard contains a smoked glass panel and brass grips to open and close its doors. The way this sideboard is formed also reminds of anthroposophy movement, because of the lack of symmetry and the contrast in horizontal en vertical elements in this design. Still, there is a lot of balance in this piece because of the vision and talent of Pierre Chapo. Pierre Chapo (1927-1987) was born in a family of craftsmen and trained as an architect at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Already from a young age, he felt the need to roam the world. He was only 21 when he left France in order to spend the next few years traveling through England and Scandinavia. In December of 1951, he was living back in Paris, where he met his future wife, Nicole. Their meeting was the beginning of a lifelong union. Together, the lovebirds travelled through South and North America being captivated by the architectural diversity. Back in France, he and his partner Nicole set up Société Chapo in 1957. Société Chapo was a design workshop and gallery in one where he showed his own creations. However, Nicole also presented her ceramics, textiles here and they even exhibited other great designers of that period. In 1958, they opened their famous gallery at 14 Boulevard de l'Hopital. Chapo's work originated by means of special commissions that could later be adapted to universal needs. Throughout his career, Chapo combined his interest for contemporary design with his love for traditional craftmanship. In his designs, he was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's balanced lines, Corbusier's research on proportions and the ideas of Bauhaus. The three principles that motivated Pierre Chapo were 'material, form, and function.' He measured his furniture by means of golden ratio and used elmwood as his preferred material. Unfortunately, Chapo fell ill, and he died in 1987, however, until his last day, he kept on designing and working.
