GUBI gives Mathieu Matégot’s timelessly glamorous Tropique
Collection a ravishing refresh with new sun-kissed colors
and summery stripes. Specially developed to evoke the
easygoing coastal lifestyle of the Mediterranean summer,
new upholstery options give the Tropique Dining Chairs a
new and engaging alfresco energy.
In addition to the existing solid-color upholstery options in
smooth, natural-toned white or beige, GUBI has introduced
two new colorways. Evocative of Capri restaurant terraces
and clifftop Riviera cafés, the new designs are characterized
by wide, nautically inspired stripes in either white and
orange, or white and blue. For an added bohemian flourish,
all fabrics can be supplied with tasseled fringes.
A 1950s design revived for the 21st century, the Tropique
Collection brings Matégot’s vision of ‘la dolce vita’ vividly
to life. Embodying the carefree glamor of the Côte d’Azur
in the mid-20th century, Tropique combines a clean and
simple silhouette with a distinctly decadent aesthetic.
