French designer Marcel Gascoin (1907-1986) was one of the leading
furniture designers of the post-war era. Gascoin prioritized simple
functionality, executed with meticulous attention to detail. Realizing
that modern furniture would have to work harder in the compact
homes of that time, he spent time researching how to combine
multiple roles into a single piece – and his furniture is ever-more
appropriate for the space-efficient apartments that characterize city
living today.
The Gascoin Dining Collection includes the C–Chair, S–Table and
B–Table, all designed to work together. Well received in their own
time, the pieces share an aesthetic coherence which means they
offer a unified dining or office solution in any combination.
Despite being known as the ‘father of serial production,’ Gascoin
was unable to put the approach into practice in his lifetime. Using
contemporary knowledge and insights GUBI has been able to see
this ambition through. And, through energy-efficient flat-pack
deliveries, as well as the use of FSC-certified oak and formaldehyde-
free glue, contemporary environmental considerations are now
taken into account too.
