The S10 Sahara is a stretched leather armchair by Pierre Chapo, part of the Pierre Chapo collection produced by Chapo Création.

The frame is solid light-toned oak with visible joinery throughout. Tan leather forms the rectangular seat, backrest, and curved armrest straps, each panel drawn taut across the wood. The silhouette is low-slung and wide, proportions that place the weight close to the ground. Details across the piece demonstrate the precision of the making: the corner joints, the strap tensions, the relationship between the oak grain and the leather tone.

The Sahara designation refers to the stretched leather construction, a technique Chapo applied to several seating pieces that distinguishes them from his all-wood models. The armchair is produced at the Gordes atelier by Chapo Création in solid oak with natural tan leather, finished with linseed oil.

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.
