It all started a number of years before the collection launch, triggered through Yves Salomon’s idea to blend his interest for manner along with his passion for furnishings design. As a vintage home furniture enthusiast, Salomon already possessed numerous Pierre Chapo parts in the home when he initially imagined the assortment.
He and Marcellin Boyer made a decision to reach out to Zoran Chapo, Pierre Chapo’s grand son, after knowing that he was reimagining his grandpa’s famous styles. ‘It is actually a hilarious story,’ Boyer remembers. ‘When Mr.
Salomon informed me he intended to make a furnishings compilation, I stated, I possess a tip, because I had simply purchased some Chapo pieces for my personal kitchen space task.

This cooperation was actually the complete reverse– it must be actually strong, durable, as well as powerful,’ Yves Salomon reveals.
The compilation was actually breathed life into using the intarsia procedure, a timeless procedure in the fashion industry, particularly along with coat and shearling. While generally utilized to develop soft and also fragile styles, this technique needed to be actually conformed to attain a powerful as well as sound structure. Each shearling piece was actually carefully reduced as well as stitched through hand, causing a vibrant and long lasting pattern.
