In 1972, Pierre Chapo revisited the concept of the T14 to design the T20. He kept the system of the pillar-leg base and designed a long top, straight at the sides and curved at the ends. The rounded angles soften the general aspect of this voluminous piece. The pillar legs and tabletop are wide (the table can measure up to 3 meters long) and the sides are more clearly shaped than on the T14, due to the thickness of the wood.
Born in Paris in 1927, Pierre Chapo studied architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts. During his formative years, he traveled extensively through Northern Europe and the Americas, visiting, among other places, Taliesin West, the famed residence of Frank Lloyd Wright. These trips and encounters, including a serendipitous collaboration with a traditional shipwright, left a lasting influence on his work and approach to wood and cabinetmaking. Working closely with his wife, the painter and sculptor Nicole Lormier, he founded Galerie Chapo, a dedicated space for selling his designs alongside those of important artists like Isamu Noguchi. The gallery was one of the very first French stores dedicated to high-quality design. As both designer and cabinetmaker, Chapo elevated the beauty and uniqueness of wood through timeless designs while celebrating his profound bond with nature. Despite his untimely death in 1987, his legacy lives on, inspiring contemporary designers who regard him as a true master.Â
