Croissant Lounge Chair by Gubi represents an elegant and playful take on the traditional typology of the Chesterfield sofa and club chair. The distinctive ‘croissant’ shape reflects the same ingenuity and sense of humor that saw Wikkelsø mount a sail onto his bicycle for speedier travel as a child. The Croissant Lounge Chair works well alone or in pairs as ‘fireside chairs’ or in a members’ club, workspace or hotel lobby.

Gubi Croissant Lounge Chair was designed by Illum Wikkelsø: "Wikkelsø believed that furniture should be built to last, to indulge the body and to please the eye. He worked with clean lines, but also had a strong sense of organic expression. His deep understanding of form was coupled with a commitment to exemplary levels of functionality and ergonomics."

Designer info:

GUBI has worked with Danish-Italian design duo GamFratesi since the early days of their studio. With their own dual heritage, GamFratesi shares GUBI’s ability to fuse seemingly opposing concepts – the classic and the contemporary, the intellectual and the eclectic, the understated and the expressive, the manufactured and the crafted. These dualities, as well as their constant desire to challenge the status quo while respecting what has gone before, are epitomized in the Violin Chair.
