Pierre Chapo coffee table in elm wood, Model T22 C circa 1972.
This is a fine vintage example, not the current production.
Excellent condition. Small eye piece stamped with the number 4 on each strut.
Pierre Chapo was born in a family of craftsmen. After his regular studies, he worked in the workshop of a navy carpenter. He graduated as an architect in 1958 from the Ecole Nationale Supe´rieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, after having travelled in the United States and in Europe. He opened his own workshop first in Clamart as well as a shop in Paris. Chapo’s work was inspired by Charlotte Perriand. Ten years later he settled down in Gordes, where he based the Socie´te´ Chapo. He then dedicated himself mainly to his work as a carpenter and a cabinetmaker and gave a series of lectures about his great passion, wood.
This small and low table has the large cylindrical solid legs and nice triangle shaped top. The grain of the elm wood is nicely visible in the top with rounded edges. The top shows some light traces of age and use, which makes it an authentic piece of it’s era. As a Chapo trademark, the top has the iconic wood-joints.
