It all started a number of years prior to the collection launch, stimulated through Yves Salomon’s tip to mixture his interest for manner along with his passion for furniture concept. As a vintage furnishings lover, Salomon actually had numerous Pierre Chapo items in the house when he to begin with envisioned the collection.

Salomon informed me he intended to produce a furnishings collection, I stated, I possess a concept, due to the fact that I had actually just gotten some Chapo pieces for my personal cooking area task.

During the course of the discussion, Zoran Chapo allotments that the collaboration was actually both intriguing as well as much-needed for him as well as Chapo Cru00e9ation.

This collaboration was actually the total contrast– it needed to be sound, sturdy, and also powerful,’ Yves Salomon reveals.
The collection was actually breathed life into utilizing the intarsia technique, a traditional method in the fashion industry, especially with hair and also shearling. While commonly utilized to develop soft and also delicate designs, this approach had to be actually adjusted to achieve a solid as well as strong structure. Each shearling piece was thoroughly reduced and stitched by hand, causing a vivid and also long lasting pattern.
‘I must mention that Yves Salomon is quite modest, however they are actually recognized to become the most ideal in the world at this method.

Durability was actually central to the project, with both brands stressing its significance at every stage.
‘On the Chapo edge, it was actually definitely necessary for Pierre Chapo to create furnishings that lasts,’ Zoran Chapo states, taking note that this cooperation highlights sustainability through providing more mature versions of furnishings a brand new lifestyle with reinterpretation.
