Description

Tito Agnoli drew the P3 in 1964 for Bonacina 1889, the Italian house that made rattan a serious material. Six decades later, Gubi reissues it from the original archival drawings, still woven by Bonacina's craftspeople — roughly 200 meters of split rattan worked by hand around a continuous galvanized-steel tube frame, several days of labor per chair. The silhouette is unmistakable: a low, linear stance with a single curving plane that doubles as seat and back, the rattan stretched taut enough to hold its shape but loose enough to give.

Design is an unceasing continuum, believes this Danish house, now owned by a second generation. Owner and creative director Jacob Gubi Olsen inherited the helm from his parents Gubi and Lisbeth Larson, who founded the business to showcase their postmodern furniture. Under Jacob’s watch, Gubi added a global focus to its roots in Copenhagen, with a cosmopolitan array of furniture, lighting and interior objects.

Alongside 20th Century icons such as Robert Dudley Best and Greta Magnusson-Grossman, the design house has championed a new wave of design studios including GamFratesi, Space Copenhagen and OeO Studio. “I started out with two very strong designs, Bestlite—a Bauhaus collection designed in 1930—and Gubi Chair, designed in 2003. I felt they had something in common,” says Jacobs. “Iconic appearance, functional design, high quality, aesthetic design language and adaptable for many different kinds of interiors. I took these values as a guideline for any new designs added to the collection ever since.”
