GUBI C-Chair Dining Chair French Wicker/Black Oak
Designer: Marcel Gascoin in 1947 Concept: This dining table chair from GUBI is inspired by the original Marcel Gascoin C-Chair and is a daring statement about the convenience and comfort of the post-war era. The soft curve of the backrest gently crosses the graceful lines of the wooden chair to create a silhouette that is at once futuristic and timeless. The chair was originally created out of necessity to fit into the new sizes of houses built at the end of World War II, where Gascoin compensated for the lack of space by creating a simple, functional design. GUBI's version of the C-Chair is a further development of this modern classic and a symbol of GUBI's belief that design must always respond to the needs and values of everyday life. By constantly reinventing this model and products in new areas, GUBI strives to maintain its ability to surprise and excite. Today, the chair lives on as a design icon known for its simple construction and refined aesthetics. The C-chair is a great addition to today's modern dining table and fits perfectly into an industrial chic decor.
GUBI C-Chair Dining Chair - All French Cane (Black Stained Oak Matt Lacquered)
One of Marcel Gascoin’s most well-known pieces, the C-Chair Dining Chair, was designed in 1947. The chair represents not only the aesthetic and practical power of Gascoin’s designs but also the social conscience he strongly demonstrated through the post-war years in France. The C-Chair was originally created out of necessity to fit into the new sizes of homes built at the end of World War II, where Gascoin made up for the lack of space by creating simple, functional furniture. Cleverly designed with great attention to details, the C-Chair possesses an elegant shape yet sturdy construction rooted in a simple, minimal and strong design language. Characterised by voluminous and vigorous legs juxtaposed by an inviting seat in lighter material like cane, straw or fabric, the quality of the C-Chair reveals itself through modern lines, sobriety and high-quality wooden workmanship.
