Designed in 1947, the C-Chair chair is one of Marcel Gascoin's best-known pieces. Reissued by Gubi, the chair represents not only the strong aesthetics and discipline of Gascoin's creations, but also the social conscience he demonstrated throughout the post-war period in France. The C-Chair was originally created out of necessity to fit into the new sized houses built at the end of the Second World War, where Gascoin made up for the lack of space by creating simple, functional furniture. Intelligently designed with great attention to detail, the C-Chair has an elegant shape while being robust and rooted in a simple, minimal and strong design language. Characterised by voluminous and vigorous legs and an inviting seat in lighter material, the quality of the C-Chair produced by Gubi reveals itself through modern lines, sobriety and high-quality carpentry.
