The GUBI M-Chair, designed by Marcel Gascoin in 1937, is a special dining chair where French design history, architectural elegance, and modern comfort come together. With its slender silhouette, subtly floating backrest, and refined metal base, the M-Chair is a timeless design that effortlessly complements both modern and classic interiors. This version is upholstered in Dedar Amuleto 005, an exclusive furniture fabric from the Italian textile house Dedar. The refined texture and rich appearance of the upholstery give the chair a distinct tactile character. Combined with the slender, matte black metal frame, an elegant contrast is created between soft volumes and sleek architectural lines.
Characteristic of the M-Chair is the unique construction of the backrest. It appears to float above the seat and gives the chair its recognizable, graphic silhouette. The fully upholstered seat and backrest offer pleasant comfort, while the carefully balanced proportions ensure a light and refined appearance.
Thanks to its compact size and comfortable seating, the M-Chair is a versatile choice for the dining room, as well as for exclusive restaurants, hotels, and stylish hospitality interiors. The combination of Dedar Amuleto and the black metal frame gives this historic design a contemporary, luxurious look.
With the reintroduction of the M-Chair, GUBI brings a special design from the early oeuvre of Marcel Gascoin back to life. An elegant designer chair in which historical charm, high-quality materials, and modern sophistication come together.
