About the Item
A Pierre Chapo T21D oak dining table, French, 1970-80s. By repute purchased directly from the designer himself. Oak, with five legged base, in good, untouched and original condition (can be refinished if required), suitable for five or six to dine at.
Pierre Chapo (1927 – 1987) spent a peripatetic youth travelling across Europe and The Americas before finally (re)settling in Paris in 1956 alongside his wife Nicole and son, Nicholas. The hirsute, cigar-smoking Frenchman, something of a design polyglot, funded his travels working for various architectural practices and upon returning to his homeland founded ‘Société Chapo’ as architectural research consultants and interior designers, opening their gallery/shop the year after. His work was strongly influenced by the modernist movement and such luminaries as Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright and of course the Bauhaus movement, his designs taking on an unequivocally contemporary aesthetic. Alongside his own work, the gallery showed works by other leading designers of the day including Isamu Noguchi, Charlotte Perriand, Serge Mouille and Robert Deblander.
Considered part of Chapo’s second collection of furniture designed between 1971 and 1976, the T21 dining table combines the rustic and simple aesthetic of the French campagne with what is in fact an incredibly complex base, a masterpiece of precision carpentry and geometry. The five pieces of timber converge in the centre and twist giving the appearance of a vortex, a sense of movement not usually associated with furniture of this type. Furthermore, like his idol Le Corbusier, Chapo’s designs were much informed by the Golden Ratio, the proportion considered balanced and harmonious throughout antiquity and to this day. In the case of this table the diameter of the top, that of the base, the width of the base where it joins the top and that of where it the five elements meet all align with this ratio, as does the relationship between the overall height and that where the legs converge.

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.
