Sections of skillfully shaped wood were assembled to form the bases of tables and chairs belonging to the generation of furniture designed between 1972 and 1976. The T35 has a rectangular top and requires a broad span, especially in the version measuring over 3 meters long. The legs need to be positioned at a steep angle; the sections of the base are long and spaced quite far apart. The base changes in relation to the size of the top, making the T35 an architectural challenge.
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
