The b10 is one of the more familiair designs that chapo made, and this particular piece still is in a very good condition, despite elmwood is sensitive to discoloration or sundamage. There are no significant marks of usage. The wood is honey coloured and has a lovely grain. There are a lot of details such as the drawers that seem bulky, but look refined at the same time. The beautiful crafted corner connections are of course a trademark for the designs by chapo which he used in many of his designs. The work of chapo combines ancient woodworking skill and tradition with a contemporary aproach. In designing his distinguished pieces, solid oak, elm, teak and ash were mainly used. this piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
