PIERRE CHAPO S34 DINING CHAIR

PIERRE CHAPO S34 DINING CHAIR, DESIGNED IN 1973 AND HANDCRAFTED BY CHAPO CRÉATIONS IN SOUTHERN FRANCE.

A MASTERPIECE OF GEOMETRIC PRECISION AND STRUCTURAL BALANCE, THE S34 CHAIR COMPLETES PIERRE CHAPO’S ICONIC “CONVERGING LINES” SERIES, DEVELOPED ALONGSIDE THE T21 TABLE AND S31 STOOL.

ITS BASE, COMPOSED OF FOUR LEGS THAT CONVERGE IN A COMPLEX INTERSECTION, REPRESENTS ONE OF CHAPO’S MOST ADVANCED STUDIES IN PLANE GEOMETRY. FACED WITH THE CHALLENGE OF CREATING PERFECT STABILITY FROM A CIRCULAR FORM TOO LARGE FOR A TRIPOD BASE, CHAPO ENGINEERED A SYSTEM INSPIRED BY A DIHEDRAL ANGLE — A STRUCTURE THAT DISTRIBUTES WEIGHT EVENLY THROUGH INTERLOCKING JOINTS AND PRECISE ANGLES.

THE POLYGONAL SEAT IS EXACTLY POSITIONED TO BALANCE FORM AND FUNCTION, CREATING A PIECE THAT IS BOTH ARCHITECTURAL AND HUMAN IN SCALE.

CRAFTED ENTIRELY IN SOLID FRENCH ELM, OAK, OR ASH USING TRADITIONAL JOINERY, EACH CHAIR IS INDIVIDUALLY MADE BY THE CHAPO WORKSHOP IN FRANCE, CONTINUING THE LEGACY OF MODERN CRAFTSMANSHIP AND TIMELESS DESIGN.
