DESIGNBOOM TALK: YVES SALOMON AND CHAPO CRÉATION AT MAISON&OBJET
yves salomon and chapo création join designboom at maison&objet's fall edition to unpack the making of their first collaborative furniture collection. combining the two historic french houses' craftsmanship and artisanal know-how, the limited-edition pieces reimagine the iconic designs of french furniture designer pierre chapo through intarsia of upcycled shearling leftovers from yves salomon. 'although we have close to 100 different pieces from pierre chapo, they’re always the same—we’re not designing new ones,' zoran chapo, pierre chapo's grandson and CEO of chapo création explains. 'I was looking for a way to present our furniture from a different angle.' read our conversation in full here, and discover more recent interviews here.
