GUBI PRESENTS

Gascoin Collection

French designer Marcel Gascoin (1907-1986) was one of the leading

furniture designers of the post-war era. Gascoin prioritized simple

functionality, executed with meticulous attention to detail. Realizing

that modern furniture would have to work harder in the compact

homes of that time, he spent time researching how to combine

multiple roles into a single piece – and his furniture is ever-more

appropriate for the space-efficient apartments that characterize city

living today.

The Gascoin Dining Collection includes the C–Chair, S–Table and

B–Table, all designed to work together. Well received in their own

time, the pieces share an aesthetic coherence which means they

offer a unified dining or office solution in any combination.

Despite being known as the ‘father of serial production,’ Gascoin

was unable to put the approach into practice in his lifetime. Using

contemporary knowledge and insights GUBI has been able to see

this ambition through. And, through energy-efficient flat-pack

deliveries, as well as the use of FSC-certified oak and formaldehyde-

free glue, contemporary environmental considerations are now

taken into account too.
