It all started a number of years prior to the set launch, sparked through Yves Salomon’s suggestion to mix his passion for manner along with his passion for furniture style. As a vintage furnishings lover, Salomon actually had several Pierre Chapo pieces in the home when he to begin with imagined the selection.
He and also Marcellin Boyer determined to communicate to Zoran Chapo, Pierre Chapo’s grandson, after discovering that he was actually reimagining his gramps’s famous styles. ‘It’s a funny tale,’ Boyer recalls. ‘When Mr.
Salomon informed me he wished to make a furniture compilation, I pointed out, I possess an idea, given that I had actually only purchased some Chapo pieces for my own cooking area project.

The compilation was actually given birth to making use of the intarsia strategy, a traditional strategy in the fashion industry, especially along with coat and shearling. While typically used to generate soft as well as delicate concepts, this procedure had to be actually adjusted to accomplish a powerful and also strong structure.

‘I have to say that Yves Salomon is actually very reserved, but they are understood to become the best on earth at this procedure.
