The T21 is a round solid wood table by Pierre Chapo, part of the Pierre Chapo collection produced by Chapo Création.
The top is a circular disc of light brown oak with a distinct finger-jointed edge, a construction detail that reveals the assembly rather than concealing it. Four criss-crossing legs form the base, their intersection creating a sculptural support that remains stable from any angle. At this scale, the T21 functions as an accent table or a compact dining piece.
Chapo's interest in the honest expression of structure informs every element of the T21: the exposed joinery at the top edge, the geometry of the crossed base, the wood left uncolored and finished with linseed oil. The table is produced at the Gordes atelier in solid oak, consistent with the production standards Chapo Création maintains across the full 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.
