Pierre Chapo : Un Artisan Moderne, A Modern Craftsman

Exhibition at the Magen H. Gallery, New York, 2 November - 3 December 2017

Inspired by New York, Frank Lloyd Wright, Scandinavia and Bauhaus, Pierre Chapo (1927-1987) designs are recognized for their simplicity and quality. His work positions matter, form and function at the centre of his practice. Widely influenced by his formation as an architect and pushed by his growing interest in noble woods, he crafted furniture designs anchored in tradition.

This book, the first one devoted to the designer, is the catalogue of the first retrospective of Chapo's works. It includes a selection of tables, benches, chairs, desks realized by Pierre Chapo from 1960-1970, never exhibited before, with a focus on unique or commissioned pieces from private collections or the estate.
