Presenting the stunning ‘Aban’ T35B breakfast or small dining table, a masterpiece of design by Pierre Chapo, meticulously crafted in his atelier in France in 1972. This table is a testament to Chapo’s genius, born from extensive research and development aimed at perfecting the innovative converging-lines design of its legs. The T35B showcases Chapo’s ability to solve complex architectural challenges, particularly in the assembly of wood sections, resulting in a table that is both structurally sound and aesthetically striking.
This specific T35B version features a rectangular top measuring 140 cm in length, requiring a broad span that adds to its impressive presence. The legs are positioned at a steep angle, with the base sections being long and widely spaced, a design that changes in relation to the size of the top. This intricate assembly makes the T35B not just a piece of furniture but an architectural triumph. Crafted from solid elmwood, this very early example is in excellent, fully original condition, showcasing the beautiful grain of the elmwood. The table also features Chapo’s signature connections, visible on the front of the tabletop, adding a distinct character to the piece. The chairs on the pictures are not included but can be purchased here.
Pierre Chapo’s work stands alongside that of iconic designers such as Charlotte Perriand and Jean Prouvé. His furniture is highly sought after by collectors, celebrated for the brilliant mind and craftsmanship that Chapo brought to each of his creations. This T35B table is not just a functional piece but a collectible example of mid-century design at its finest.
