The T22 by Pierre Chapo is a low table built from two curved wooden segments that, placed together, define an organic void at the center as precisely as the surfaces around it.
Each segment curves inward toward the other. The gap between them forms an eye-shaped opening, which reads as a design element rather than an absence. Short cylindrical legs keep the table low, anchoring its horizontal character. The two segments function as a single table or independently, depending on the arrangement.
Made in solid oak, the T22 carries the warm natural grain consistent with Chapo Création's production. The curved edges are shaped without applied moldings. The form comes from the material itself, finished with linseed oil.
The T22 is part of the Chapo Création collection presented on Monde Singulier. It suits living rooms where a coffee table is expected to hold visual interest without centering the room.

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.
