Bohemian 72 lounge chair, rattan - Chevron FR 002

GUBI's Bohemian lounge chair is a perfect example of designer Gabriella Crespi’s desire to create furniture that seamlessly moves from indoor to outdoor spaces. Made of rattan and upholstered in Dedar's top-quality outdoor fabric, the lounge chair is suitable for the living room as well as for the balcony or covered terrace or patio – although it is not advisable to leave rattan furniture in the rain or scorching sun.

Gabriella Crespi originally designed the Bohemian collection in 1972, but it did not reach wider production until 2022, exactly 50 years after its original introduction. Natural rattan was chosen as a material not only because of its versatility and durability but also because it was considered the most elegant, most sophisticated material in the social circles of Crespi's time. The forms of the furniture, however, were considered quite unusual, but they have since proved to be timeless and suitable for all kinds of environments; just as Crespi wanted, Bohemian is just as easy to envision being used in the city as it is in the countryside or by the sea.

Gubi Olsen and his wife Lisbeth Olsen founded GUBI in 1967. The company has been based since the beginning on product design and development. Over the years, the two designers have created a large collection of upholstered furniture and a furniture fabric, called Holmens Klæde.

Since 1967, GUBI’s core philosophy has been to create timeless designs, with aesthetics, innovation, functionality and quality as guiding principles. GUBI’s many new designs are developed partly in cooperation with designers who have previously left their mark on GUBI products and partly in association with a number of new designers who, in turn, will add new stories to the GUBI saga.
