C-CHAIR
BY MARCEL GASCOIN
Characterised by voluminous and vigorous legs juxtaposed by an inviting seat in lighter material like cane, straw or fabric, the quality of the C-Chair reveals itself through modern lines, sobriety and high-quality wooden workmanship.
A true timeless design icon
Marcel Gascoin designed the c-chair in 1947 as a response to the challenge with large families in small apartments in france after world war ii. The compact design and the slender footprint is a classic example of gascoin’s purpose of combining functionality with aesthetics. An ideal and elegant solution making room for many people around the dinner table.
The C-Chair is crafted from robust and long-lasting wood, aesthetically refined with details of veneer, French cane or hand-woven paper cord.
A fusion of industrial precision and intricate handwork
“The answers to today’s problems can so often be found by combining the insights of the past with modern knowledge and creativity. - Marcel Gascoin was of his time and yet also ahead of his time, so it is an honor to reinvent his work for the modern day.”
JACOB GUBI, OWNER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR
