This massive elm buffet with three drawers from circa 1965 was designed by Pierre Chapo and is simple in its shape. The piece features a top with a blue enameled lava design. Chapo (1927-1987) was born into a family of craftsmen. After his regular studies, he worked for some time in the workshop of a navy carpenter. He was graduated as an architect in 1958 from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, after having travelled in the United States and in Europe. He opened his own workshop first in Clamart as well as a shop in Paris. His work was inspired by Charlotte Perriand. Ten years later he settled down in Gordes, where he based the Société Chapo, and thereafter dedicated himself mainly to his work as a carpenter and a cabinetmaker and gave a serie of lectures about his great passion, wood.
