Everything started a number of years just before the collection launch, triggered through Yves Salomon’s tip to mixture his passion for fashion with his love for furniture design. As a vintage home furniture enthusiast, Salomon presently owned many Pierre Chapo pieces in the house when he initially imagined the compilation.

Salomon told me he intended to develop a home furniture assortment, I stated, I have an idea, given that I had actually only purchased some Chapo items for my very own home kitchen job.

Unlike the smooth materials typically used through Yves Salomon, this assortment required a switch to more strong and tough concepts. ‘This was a significant problem because, as a high-end label, we are actually used to creating lightweight, glossy garments. This partnership was actually the comprehensive contrast– it had to be solid, tough, as well as strong,’ Yves Salomon allotments.
The collection was actually given birth to utilizing the intarsia technique, a timeless method in the apparel industry, particularly with coat and shearling. While commonly utilized to make smooth and also fragile designs, this technique needed to be adjusted to accomplish a powerful and also sound construct. Each shearling part was actually painstakingly cut and also stitched through palm, causing a lively and also long lasting design.
‘I have to point out that Yves Salomon is actually extremely demure, yet they are actually known to become the best on earth at this technique. Thus, I was actually actually confident when they informed me they would like to use it for our cooperation,’ describes Zoran Chapo.Zoran Chapo (left behind), Yves Salomon (right)|image courtesy of Maison & Objet A New Life for Leftovers: Upcycled Products Meet Iconic Layouts The collective compilation is actually given birth to using upcycled materials, featuring discarded materials, shearling, as well as leather junks that were actually otherwise looked at improper for various other ventures. ‘Our experts have to recognize that when our experts produce a garment, it has to be best.
Whenever it does not suit, although it’s good premium, it ends up being a remaining. The problem is to use all these leftovers. It’s a continuance of development that is embedded in our culture,’ Yves Salomon claims.
The crew carefully selected and also combined vintage items based on their unique shades and appearances, combining Chapo’s famous woodwork along with Yves Salomon’s knowledge of the intarsia strategy.

Sustainability was core to the task, along with each labels emphasizing its usefulness at every stage.
‘On the Chapo edge, it was truly essential for Pierre Chapo to make household furniture that lasts,’ Zoran Chapo points out, noting that this partnership highlights durability by providing more mature models of furniture a brand new life with reinterpretation. Operating greatly with wood, Chapo Cru00e9ation is actually devoted to respecting this remarkable component by lessening rubbish and also leftovers. The very same philosophy relates to Yves Salomon.
‘We believe that promoting alliance is actually the very first part of sustainability. The second part is actually making use of honorable, natural products. Of course, lumber was the best match for shearling and also leather-made.
