One of Marcel Gascoin’s most well-known pieces, the C-Chair Dining Chair, was designed in 1947. The chair represents not only the aesthetic and practical power of Gascoin’s designs, but also the social conscience he strongly demonstrated through the post-war years in France. The C-Chair was originally created out of necessity to fit into the new sizes of homes built at the end of World War II, where Gascoin made up for the lack of space by creating simple, functional furniture. Cleverly designed with great attention to detail, the C-Chair possesses an elegant shape yet sturdy construction rooted in a simple, minimal and strong design language. Gubi Chair Natural wood Wood. Dimensions: L 41 x Depth 53 cm x H 79 cm. Released in 1947, the "C" chair is one of the most famous pieces by Marcel Gascoin (1907-1986). Having trained as a cabinetmaker, this French decorator who specialised in "series furniture" always knew how to combine modernism and democratisation. He played a major role in the emergence of post-war French design. Designed in 1947, the C chair fits fully into the period of Reconstruction in France. It was designed to adapt to the constraints of the post-war period, when there was a need to rebuild while space was in short supply. Nice and compact, it was created to adapt to the reduced dimensions of urban apartments built at the end of the Second World War. Although compact, the "C" chair is very comfortable. Its strong personality comes from its two rear legs, generously proportioned, which support most of the weight. Marcel Gascoin brought great care to the construction details found in the cabinetmaking techniques used for the C chair. With its sleek form, rugged construction, discreet hardware and inviting seating angle, the "C" chair is an almost perfect blend of utility and beauty - a well-made, comfortable seat that is sculptural, too. The iconic C-Chair dining chair – un-upholstered is one of Marcel Gascoin’s most well known pieces. Originally designed in 1947, the chair reflects Gascoin’s practical and aesthetic take on furniture design, as well as the era’s need for simple, functional pieces to fit into post World War II homes that were constrained by space. Contrasting voluminous and vigorous legs with an inviting seat in lighter material, the quality of the chair is evident in its elegant silhouette, clean lines and sturdy, high-quality construction. Modern and minimalist, the C-Chair dining chair is full of character and makes a beautiful addition to any contemporary dining room or living space. Available in four wood finishes.
