The B17 is a wall-mounted shelving unit by Pierre Chapo, part of the Pierre Chapo collection produced by Chapo Création.

The piece takes the form of a grid: four horizontal shelves and two vertical supports in natural oak, the structure held together by dark wood interlocking blocks at each joint. The contrast between the light oak shelves and the darker wooden blocks is not decorative but structural, the joinery made visible as a defining feature of the design. Chapo's Chlacc assembly system, developed over years at his Gordes atelier, sits at the core of pieces like the B17.

The shelving is produced in solid oak, finished with linseed oil. It mounts to the wall, providing functional storage while retaining the architectural clarity Chapo applied to every form in the Pierre Chapo collection.

About
Chapo Création

Pierre Chapo trained as an architect at the Beaux-Arts de Paris before turning to furniture after the Second World War. Le Corbusier, the Bauhaus masters, and Frank Lloyd Wright shaped his thinking. After returning from North America with his partner Nicole Lormier, they opened the Galerie Chapo in Paris's 5th arrondissement in 1958, showing his work alongside Scandinavian and modern design.

In a workshop in Clamart, Chapo developed his first production pieces: the T01 table, the S01 stool, and the L01 (the Godot bed, commissioned by Samuel Beckett). Each was assembled in solid elm or oak using patented joinery systems, without nails or glue. The City of Paris awarded him its Gold Medal in 1960; the Société des artistes décorateurs followed with a Bronze Medal in 1967.

After Chapo's death in 1987, his son Fidel ran the atelier until 2021. Today Chapo Création is directed by his grandson Zoran Chapo, who continues production at the studio in Gordes, Vaucluse, using oak and elm from certified forests finished with linseed oil and turpentine. More than 100 original designs remain in the catalog. In 2024 the studio collaborated with Yves Salomon on a collection shown at Maison&Objet in Paris.

The Chapo Création collection is available on Monde Singulier.
