About the Item
Pierre Chapo “T21B Sfax” Dining Table for Atelier Pierre Chapo, wood, France, 1973
A perfect study in balance and proportion, the T21B “Sfax” dining table by Pierre Chapo reveals the essence of French design in the 1970s — functional, sculptural, and deeply human.
Carved from solid elm, its geometry is reduced to the essentials: a circular top supported by three converging legs, meeting at a precise angle that anchors the structure with architectural clarity.
Like many of Chapo’s works, the table reflects his lifelong pursuit of harmony through craftsmanship and mathematics. The arrangement of the legs follows the same golden ratio principles that guided much of his production, creating an equilibrium that feels both intuitive and absolute.
Its construction — visible joinery, tactile wood grain, and impeccable detailing — expresses a kind of radical honesty: nothing superfluous, nothing hidden.
Pierre Chapo (1927–1987) stands as one of the most influential figures in postwar French design. His furniture, produced by Atelier Pierre Chapo in Paris and later in Gordes, combines the structural intelligence of Jean Prouvé with the organic warmth of Charlotte Perriand.
The “Sfax” table embodies this duality — at once rational and poetic — a testament to Chapo’s belief that design should serve both beauty and life.
A masterwork of modern craftsmanship and one of the defining icons of French mid-century 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.
