Founded in 1967 by Gubi and Lisbeth Olsen, Gubi is a Danish design company that creates artisanal furniture pieces and is known for its timeless and innovative designs that often blend traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. They often collaborate with emerging designers or established architects to create unique furniture pieces.
One of Gubi’s defining characteristics is its ability to seamlessly blend the old with the new. While the company pays homage to iconic designs of the past, it is not afraid to innovate to create fresh new designs This approach results in a diverse portfolio that spans from mid-century modern classics to modern contemporary pieces, ensuring that there is something for every discerning taste.
The Croissant Sofa, by midcentury Danish architect and designer Illum Wikkelsø, represents an elegant and playful take on the traditional typology of the Chesterfield sofa. Not only does the distinctive ‘Croissant’ shape provide form and comfort, but it also adds a sense of brevity to any living room.
The Basket Sofa emulates handwoven baskets, and as tribute, is made of high-quality rattan. Designed by Joe Colombo, the basket sofa combines industrial manufacturing and extremely detailed artisanship, the carbon steel inner shell offers durability while the round cushions are molded ergonomically for a pleasant seating experience.
The Multi-Lite Pendant, designed by Louis Weisdorf embraces the golden era of Danish design with its characteristic shape of two opposing outside, mobile shades that enable creating a personal installation and a wide range of lighting values in a room. By individually rotating the shades, the Multi-Lite Pendant can be transformed into multiple combinations where the light can be directed upwards, downwards, or exude an asymmetrical art light. This revolutionary design also comes as a floor lamp, table lamp and even as a small portable.
The Moon Dining Table is a dining table with a organic shape -the mix between the oak table top and the oval base in the shape of a half moon or full moon, with a beveled surface, creates a simple yet strong silhouette. The result is a series of elegant tables with clear references to traditional Danish carpentry asthe interplay between the beautiful solid oak table top and the smooth half moon shaped base, with bevelled surface, creates a simple yet strong identity for the design.
The Sejour Lounge chair designed by GamFratesi is a low-slung chair with playful proportions characterized by a deep, generous seat and a gently curving backrest set atop a slender metal frame. This ingenious pairing of contrasting forms, weights, and materials results in an intriguing, almost anthropomorphic form.
