All of it began a couple of years just before the set launch, triggered by Yves Salomon’s tip to blend his passion for style with his passion for furniture concept. As a vintage household furniture fanatic, Salomon currently had numerous Pierre Chapo pieces in your home when he first envisioned the compilation.
He and Marcellin Boyer chose to reach out to Zoran Chapo, Pierre Chapo’s grand son, after knowing that he was reimagining his gramps’s well-known styles. ‘It’s a hilarious story,’ Boyer remembers. ‘When Mr.
Salomon told me he would like to generate a home furniture compilation, I said, I possess a concept, due to the fact that I had merely bought some Chapo parts for my own home kitchen job.

The assortment was given birth to utilizing the intarsia procedure, a classic technique in the fashion industry, especially with hair and also shearling. While typically used to generate soft and delicate layouts, this procedure needed to be actually adapted to obtain a strong and also sound design. Each shearling part was diligently reduced and also sewn through hand, leading to a vibrant and sturdy pattern.
‘I have to say that Yves Salomon is quite demure, yet they are understood to become the very best on earth at this procedure. So, I was truly confident when they told me they wanted to utilize it for our collaboration,’ reveals Zoran Chapo.Zoran Chapo (left), Yves Salomon (appropriate)|picture courtesy of Maison & Objet A New Lifestyle for Leftovers: Upcycled Materials Meet Iconic Concepts The collective compilation is actually breathed life into making use of upcycled materials, featuring disposed of textiles, shearling, and also leather-made junks that were otherwise looked at unfit for other ventures. ‘Our team have to understand that when our experts produce a garment, it has to be perfect.
