In the late 1960s, French furniture designer Pierre Paulin unveiled a lounge chair unlike anything the world had seen before: the F300. Sculptural and futuristic in form, the F300 introduced a completely new chair typology, and quickly became an icon. Determined to restore this important piece of design history to contemporary audiences, GUBI took on the challenge of exploring, understanding, and reengineering the production process behind Paulin’s original vision.

Following the successful reissue of Pierre Paulin’s iconic F300 Lounge Chair, GUBI introduces Molé. A rich new colorway that brings fresh depth to the 20th-century classic. Inspired by the darker tones of Paulin’s original palette, the deep brown hue shifts attention from upholstery to structure, emphasizing the chair’s sculptural silhouette and architectural presence. In contrast to the lighter Alabaster White and Pastel Green editions, Molé adds warmth, sensuality, and a more grounded expression to the futuristic 1960s design.
