Set of 3 French 'T14' Elm Dining Table + Benches by Pierre Chapo, 1964

$26,800.00

The ‘T14’ dining table and benches by Pierre Chapo, designed in 1964, celebrate the raw beauty of solid elm. Honouring traditional joinery and the inherent strength of the material, Chapo crafts a bold silhouette of intersecting planes and commanding proportions.

The rectangular top floats with inclined and round edges, anchored by robust slab legs and pegged cross-supports. This set is a study in restraint and craftsmanship—French modernism at its most elemental.

Pierre Chapo was a French architect and designer who was initially interested in painting. His encounter with a shipbuilding carpenter in 1947 introduced him to wood and woodworking, prompting him to pursue architectural studies at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

After traveling through Scandinavia and Central America, and spending a year working in the United States, he returned to Paris to focus on his passion for wood—crafting furniture primarily from solid oak, elm, ash, or teak—while maintaining a dual commitment to contemporary design and traditional craftsmanship.
