GUBI PRESENTS

Grace Chair

Available late April 2021

The Grace Chair by Danish architect and designer Tove Kindt-Larsen

(1906-1994) is an elegant take on an informal typology new to the

GUBI Collection – the rattan lounge chair. Bringing to life a design

never before put into production, GUBI has worked closely with Tove

Kindt-Larsen’s family to develop the piece from a conceptual sketch

she drew in 1936, which was recently discovered in an archived folder

of her jewelry designs.

Inspired by the soft curves and materiality found in nature, the

Grace Chair is a compilation of curves. Woven by hand from the

natural material by Indonesian craftspeople, it comprises a circular

seat atop a slightly larger, offset, circular base, with an embracing

backrest populated with long loops of rattan. The lower part of the

backrest is woven together to support a generous unholstered seat

cushion.

The flexibility of rattan – its ability to be bent and shaped at will – is

at the heart of Tove Kindt-Larsen’s vision for the Grace Chair. The

rattan flexes under the weight of the sitter, adding another layer of

support as it adapts to the contours of the body.
