Description
Pierre Chapo, armchairs, S15, Cognac leather, Elm, bouclé, France ca. 1964

This set of two lounge chairs is designed by Pierre Chapo. These comfortable armchairs in solid elmwood cognac saddle leather adn bouclé are based on Chapo's 48 x 72 assembly principle.
The S15 chair is most likely a reference to Corbusier's LC2.

Pierre Chapo (1927-1987) was born in a family of craftsmen and trained as an architect in Paris. After spending many years traveling through south and North America he and his partner Nicole set up Société Chapo, an architectural research consultancy and interior design firm. In 1958 they opened their famous gallery at 14 Boulevard de l'Hopital. Chapo's work originated by means of special commissions that could later be adapted to universal needs. Chapo was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's balanced lines, Corbusier's research on proportions and the Minimalist tendencies of Bauhaus.
