Set of two elmwood s38 benches by pierre chapo. These benches were intended to fit around the 140cm round table (t21d). chapo’s design have been heavily influenced by works from from the bauhaus period and designers like le corbusier and charlotte perriand. By studying his pieces one thing clearly stands out: his focus on details, craftsmanship and the relatively bulky and rigid shapes used in his furniture. other works include the s11 chair, the t22 coffee table and the r08 sideboard: pierre chapo can be considered as one of the most recognized designers from the french modernist period. provenance: purchased from the family of the original owner in lausanne, switzerland. condition: corners of the benches are rounded as they have been damaged in the past. Please see images. Benches are structurally stable and have been cleaned and oiled with cooked linseed oil as per chapo's original instructions. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs, designer records, or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
