GUBI BASKET LOUNGE CHAIR

Gubi Basket Lounge Chair

At first glance, anyone familiar with the work of Joe Colombo (Milan, 1930 - 1971) would be surprised by the Basket Collection. From a designer known for his futuristic style, his love of technology and his affinity for synthetic materials, a furniture collection in rattan seems like a significant departure from the norm. Look a little closer, however, and the hallmarks of classic Colombo become clear: organic lines, a distinctly modernist aesthetic, and a highly innovative approach to his chosen material. Replacing the inner fiberglass shell that Colombo initially utilized, the core of each piece is now formed from a more environmentally responsible steel skeleton, which provides strength and stability to the unique form. This is covered with a hand-woven rattan skin, made from interlaced strips and oval stakes, a technique that demands a tremendous degree of skill and craftsmanship to create. 
The Basket collection comprises a three-seater sofa, a two-seater sofa, and a lounge chair.
Available upon order in a wide range of fabrics.
