S15 armchair by pierre chapo in solid wood and white cream fabric (lelièvre - sherpas craie). The elm structure is made by interlocking and assembling pieces, typical of pierre chapo style. The "bouclette" effect upholstery brings a touch of warmth and comfort to the armchair. The armrests and backrest are decorated with leather straps. The s15 model by pierre chapo is typical of brutalist furniture with its minimalist lines while remaining very comfortable with a deep seat. Pierre chapo (1927 - 1987) is a 20th century french cabinetmaker and designer known for his modernist and brutalist furniture inspired by le corbusier and charlotte perriand. The assembly and the work of cabinet making is of very high quality. Born into a family of craftsmen, he studied at the high school in romainville, then in vierzon between 1937 and 1947. He worked for some time in the workshop of a marine carpenter, then began studying architecture at the ecole nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in paris. He graduated in 1958, having often interrupted his studies to travel in the united states and europe. He then opened a studio in clamart and a store in paris, boulevard de l'hôpital. Ten years later he acquired a house in gordes where he set up the headquarters of the chapo s.a. Company. He then devoted himself essentially to carpentry and cabinet making while giving conferences on his great passion, wood, notably at the forney library and the museum of decorative arts in paris. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
