As a vintage furnishings lover, Salomon currently owned a number of Pierre Chapo items in the home when he first imagined the assortment.
He as well as Marcellin Boyer chose to connect to Zoran Chapo, Pierre Chapo’s grand son, after learning that he was reimagining his grandfather’s well-known designs. ‘It is actually an amusing story,’ Boyer recollects. ‘When Mr.
Salomon told me he wished to make a furniture selection, I mentioned, I have a concept, because I had simply bought some Chapo items for my very own cooking area project. Mr. Salomon quickly responded, Wait, I understand this designer effectively– I have a few of his parts in my kitchen space also!’ This shared admiration led the Yves Salomon staff to communicate to Chapo Cru00e9ation, denoting the beginning of their very first joint task.

The selection was actually given birth to using the intarsia procedure, a traditional method in the garment industry, specifically along with coat and also shearling. While usually used to develop smooth and fragile styles, this technique had to be adjusted to attain a sturdy and solid framework.
