Pierre Chapo, the celebrated French designer, was renowned for his meticulous craftsmanship and innovative approach to woodworking. Trained as an architect in Paris, Chapo was deeply influenced by the principles of proportion, form, and the natural beauty of materials. His work often features bold, architectural lines and a reverence for traditional joinery, seamlessly blending structural integrity with visual elegance.

This set of six S24 dining chairs, created in 1967, captures Chapo’s distinctive aesthetic in every detail. They are constructed from solid elm, a material favoured by Chapo for its warm, organic character and robust durability. Each chair features a simple, honest construction that highlights the natural grain and rich tone of the elm, celebrating the wood's inherent beauty. The design is defined by straight, geometric lines, which give the chairs a sense of structural clarity and understated elegance. The tan leather seats, fastened by rope, develop a rich patina over time, enhancing the chairs’ charm and complementing the hues of the wood. This use of visible hardware underscores Chapo’s philosophy of honest construction, where even the functional details contribute to the visual appeal. Each chair’s sturdy frame and inviting materials embody the rustic modernism that is central to Chapo’s style.

These chairs would be a striking addition to any dining space, seamlessly blending robust construction with a refined simplicity that speaks to Chapo’s architectural roots. Their timeless design ensures they will elevate any setting, offering not only comfort but also a quiet sophistication that endures across generations.
