M-Chair, matt black - JAB Bonito 075

GUBI's M-Chair takes us back to a chapter of Marcel Gascoin's career that fewer people know. Long before wood became the material he'd be remembered for, the French designer was busy finding out what metal and tubular steel could do. The M-Chair is a product of those 1930s experiments, made during the years Gascoin worked alongside Jean Prouvé – and yes, you can sense Prouvé's influence in the M-Chair's functional, graphic lines.

What makes the M-Chair so striking is the contrast: generous upholstery appears to hover above legs that taper away to almost nothing. The chair features a bold patterned fabric that plays against lightness beautifully. Because the seat is fully upholstered, the M-Chair also stays comfortable to sit in for a long time. The versatile chair is just as at home around a kitchen table or as an extra seat in the living room as it is in a restaurant, a hotel room, or a meeting room.
