Pierre chapo: a visionary designer (1927–1987) Born into a family of craftsmen, pierre chapo studied architecture at the école nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in paris. His passion for exploration led him to travel through england, scandinavia, and america, where he was captivated by architectural diversity. In 1957, chapo and his wife nicole founded société chapo, a workshop and gallery showcasing his designs alongside nicole’s ceramics and textiles. Their renowned gallery at 14 boulevard de l’hôpital opened in 1958, where among other artists mainly his and isamu noguchi’s creations were on display. Chapo’s designs, rooted in traditional craftsmanship, drew inspiration from frank lloyd wright, le corbusier, and bauhaus principles.
