Pierre Chapo B17 Elm Wall Unit

Pierre Chapo B17 Elm Wall Unit

Designed by Pierre Chapo in 1967, the solid elm B17 wall unit is a highly recognized landmark of post-war French design. It features an innovative suspended structure where shelves are supported from above rather than below, creating a strong and balanced modular system. Stripped of unnecessary decoration, the piece relies on simple geometry and generous proportions to highlight the wood’s natural beauty, perfectly embodying Chapo’s commitment to durable, functional, and precisely crafted furniture.
