The S10 by Pierre Chapo — a subtle nod to Le Corbusier’s LC2 — becomes an immediate success upon its debut. Fully removable, the S10 masterfully reconciles the paradox of a complex construction with the purity of a single, clear line. Its wooden frame supports two stretched leather bands, while the armrests are formed from suspended leather straps fixed to the seat posts. The entire structure is held in place by the tension of the leather, secured through finely braided linen ropes.
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.
