About the Item
R40 Cabinets by Pierre Chapo in Solid Elm, France, 1970
.
Extremely rare version of the R40 cabinets. Custom-made for a client's office in the 1970s. As far as we know there is only 1 pair ever made. Both cabinets are signed by Pierre Chapo. One cabinet can be closed because it has a lock. The original key is present.
The use of large pieces of solid elm gives the cabinets a very calm, natural feeling. The wood has beautiful grain and patterns that stand out on the large surfaces on all sides. The slender, wide legs are unusual in their shape but balance the design perfectly both visually and physically.
Perfect for office use, or combined as a small credenza, or also as nightstands.
A true collector’s item for Pierre Chapo lovers.

Pierre Chapo
Pierre Chapo, who was born in Paris, France, in July 1927, was initially interested in becoming a professional painter. However, after a chance meeting with a shipbuilder who introduced him to wood and woodworking, Chapo changed his focus and decided to study architectural studies at the prestigious École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
After graduating, Chapo and his wife, the sculptor and painter Nicole Lormier, started traveling extensively through Scandinavia and Central America. Among the many places the couple visited was Taliesin West, the home and studio of Frank Lloyd Wright — a visit that had a lasting influence on Chapo’s future work and designs.
