As a classic home furniture fanatic, Salomon presently had a number of Pierre Chapo pieces in the home when he first pictured the selection.

Each shearling piece was painstakingly reduced as well as stitched through hand, leading to a dynamic and long lasting pattern.
‘I must say that Yves Salomon is really reserved, but they are known to become the most effective around the world at this approach. So, I was actually definitely certain when they told me they would like to utilize it for our partnership,’ clarifies Zoran Chapo.Zoran Chapo (left), Yves Salomon (best)|picture thanks to Maison & Objet A New Life for Leftovers: Upcycled Products Meet Iconic Designs The collaborative collection is actually breathed life into using upcycled components, featuring disposed of fabrics, shearling, and leather fragments that were or else considered improper for various other jobs. ‘We need to recognize that when our team produce a garment, it should be best.
