The L09 by Pierre Chapo is a bench with an integrated side table: a long solid oak frame fitted with three dark textile cushions and a compact flat surface at one end, framed by the same visible joinery as the rest of the piece.
The side table is not attached as an accessory. It is part of the structure, sharing the same leg height and material, set apart by its open, uncushioned surface. Round wooden legs keep the whole piece low to the floor. The silhouette is long, horizontal, and unhurried.
The pairing of dark textile cushions against natural oak is characteristic of Pierre Chapo's seating work: the wood frame carries the visual weight, and the upholstery settles into it.
Made by Chapo Création and available in the curated collection on Monde Singulier, the L09 suits an entrance hall, a living room, or a bedroom foot where a bench needs to offer both seating and a surface.

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.
