In 1959, Pierre Chapo designed a bed as a special commission for the writer Samuel Beckett. He wittily named it “Godot,” in reference to the play, Waiting for Godot. L 01 became its name in the Chapo nomenclature and and it can be considered the starting point for the first Chapo collection, which was officially presented in early 1963. The L01 bed is memorable for its taut, sober, simple lines, its movable bedhead, and the box joints at the corners of the frame, the only decorative element, and one which would often be copied. It can be used as a bed, a bench or a daybed.
Born in Paris in 1927, Pierre Chapo studied architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts. During his formative years, he traveled extensively through Northern Europe and the Americas, visiting, among other places, Taliesin West, the famed residence of Frank Lloyd Wright. These trips and encounters, including a serendipitous collaboration with a traditional shipwright, left a lasting influence on his work and approach to wood and cabinetmaking. Working closely with his wife, the painter and sculptor Nicole Lormier, he founded Galerie Chapo, a dedicated space for selling his designs alongside those of important artists like Isamu Noguchi. The gallery was one of the very first French stores dedicated to high-quality design. As both designer and cabinetmaker, Chapo elevated the beauty and uniqueness of wood through timeless designs while celebrating his profound bond with nature. Despite his untimely death in 1987, his legacy lives on, inspiring contemporary designers who regard him as a true master.
