Salomon informed me he would like to create a home furniture assortment, I said, I have a suggestion, because I had actually only acquired some Chapo parts for my very own cooking area task.

The compilation was given birth to using the intarsia technique, a timeless strategy in the apparel industry, especially along with hair and also shearling. While typically made use of to develop soft as well as delicate styles, this technique needed to be adapted to accomplish a strong and strong structure. Each shearling piece was diligently reduced and sewn by hand, resulting in a dynamic and resilient design.

The crew carefully decided on and also mixed vintage parts based on their unique shades and appearances, combining Chapo’s legendary woodwork with Yves Salomon’s knowledge of the intarsia procedure. The outcome is a completely handcrafted, indistinctly sewed problem, where each ‘furnishings ensemble’ is actually created to fit every area, design, as well as arc with preciseness. Durability was actually core to the venture, along with both brands emphasizing its usefulness at every stage.
‘On the Chapo edge, it was actually really essential for Pierre Chapo to generate home furniture that lasts,’ Zoran Chapo discusses, noting that this partnership highlights sustainability through giving older models of furniture a brand-new life through reinterpretation.
