Pierre Chapo “S28” Dining Chairs for Atelier Pierre Chapo, 1973, Set of 8
Description
Pierre Chapo “S28” dining chairs for Atelier Pierre Chapo, elm, France, 1972, set of eight.
The “S28” dining chairs, designed by Pierre Chapo in 1972, represent a clear transition from mid-century to modernist design. This set of chairs, crafted from elm, showcases geometric seats and backrests with tapered legs. The wood grain is perfectly aligned, highlighting the natural beauty of the material. The backrest features an indentation for easy grip and movement, a practical yet elegant detail.
Chapo was inspired by the traditional Alsatian house style and decided to modernize the classic Alsatian chair. The S28 chairs reflect this inspiration with their refined craftsmanship and modernist aesthetic. The backrest is made from a single piece of elm wood, while the seat is crafted from solid elm, and the four legs splay outward, providing stability and a sleek look.
Chapo’s story is one of self-taught talent, working with raw materials, and a relentless pursuit of modernist ideals. The finely worked wood is lightly protected to showcase the natural motifs, adding to the chair’s authenticity and charm.
