The garden gets an upgrade with the simple functionality of

two of Marcel Gascoin’s most enduring iconic designs. GU-

BI’s new outdoor collection, now in teak, represents significant

innovation for Gascoin’s iconic design, adapting the C-Chair

for al fresco mealtimes, and adding a new lounge typology to

GUBI’s collection.

A new outdoor version of the much-loved C-Chair – a din-

ing chair originally designed in 1947 for post-war housing in

France – is joined outside by a little-known Gascoin gem, the

F-Chair. The more relaxed incline and paddle-shaped arm-

rests, together with its woven seat which widens at the front,

make the F-Chair an altogether more leisurely affair.

This rarely seen design made its first appearance in 1949 at the

traveling exhibition ‘Maison Rurale’, which set out to showcase

furniture that met the particular needs of life in the countryside.

However, it was never produced at scale, and original exam-

ples are rarities today.
