Description
Pair of Pierre Chapo S10 Easy Chairs in Cognac Leather and Oak, France 1960s. The condition of this pair may not be for everyone. They are battered, scarred and have a tremendous amount of patina, but in the right interior we are sure they will look amazing.

Designed in the 1960s and produced in solid elm or oak and cognac leather, the s10 chair is one of the most elemental works in Chapo's oeuvre. The chair combines a complex assembly in Chapo’s signature "48x72" technique, with a straight forward, simple design, resulting in a timeless work.

Pierre Chapo who was born into a family of craftsmen in Paris, was greatly inspired by designers Charlotte Perriand and Le Corbusier, as well as the Bauhaus movement. His modernist designs were heavily focused on craftsmanship. His passion for wood can be seen in his seminal works like the S11 Chair, the T22 L’Oeil Coffee Table, the R08 Sideboard, R16 Sideboard and the T21 dining table.
