Pierre Chapo 'B17' Handcrafted Elm Wood Shelf for Chapo Création

Pierre Chapo 'B17' Handcrafted Elm Wood Shelf for Chapo Création.

Pierre Chapo was one of France’s most celebrated modern woodworkers and furniture designers. His sculptural and organic forms combine French modernist refinement with a traditional emphasis on craftsmanship. Today his made-to-order solid wood furniture continues to be handcrafted in France at the Chapo Création workshop run by Zoran Chapo, who embraces his grandfather's commitment to simplicity, sustainability, sincerity and creation.

First presented in 1967 at the Salon des Arts Ménagers, the 'B17' surprises with its discretion and elegance, courtesy of the harmony displayed between the lines of the shelves and vertical upright supports. While the vertical posts can rest on the ground, a wall mounting is possible as well. Due to Chapo's design of the support fitting into the vertical upright, the shelf becomes solidly fixed under its own weight. In a balance between gravity and force, the more weight placed on the shelf, the better seated its components become in the vertical upright. Executed in either elm or oak wood and finished in a simple and natural oil of linseed and turpentine.
