Created in 1963, the impeccable technique and aesthetics of the L07 make for a fully modular piece that can be turned into a single bed, a double bed, or a bench. It is one of the rare pieces of this type that works with no mechanical intervention. The clever system opens out into a double bed with disconcerting ease. Two slatted benches slide into each other, their slats slotting together like a box joint, and the hinged mattress opens like a book.
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.Â
