GUBI CHAIR
Design by KOMPLOT DESIGN,
Boris Berlin & Poul Christiansen
The GUBI CHAIR is the very first industrial product based on an innovative technique of moulding 3-D veneer – a process invented in Germany by Dr. Achim Möller and developed by the Reholz GmbH Company.
With all edges turned away from the human body, a soft organically shaped shell is formed, creating the characteristic “body” of the chair, that in its friendliness – like a beloved pet – comforts you, invites you to touch, to caress it.
The GUBI CHAIR range is designed to be used in a variety of situations – from meeting rooms to conference rooms, from canteens and café’s to restaurants – and includes chairs and armchairs with tubular or solid rod frames. A stackable version is also available.
GUBI CHAIR are available in beech, maple, oak, and walnut veneer and front padding in fabric or leather. The bases are mat chrome or chrome, stackable or non-stackable, or with four legs.
