The best of Gubi Furniture Products: Timeless Designs and Why They Are Classics Gubi is one of our most celebrated Danish Design house that we carry in Singapore. It offers an intersection between Danish design and the more flamboyant approach of the the Italians. It acheives this by blending modern aesthetics with timeless elegance. Their furniture embodies innovative design, exceptional craftsmanship, and historical relevance. In my view five of Gubi’s most iconic pieces are the Pacha Lounge Chair, Modern Line Sofa, Stay Lounge Chair, Doric Coffee Table, and of course the Beetle series. Each of these pieces is a classic, combining sculptural beauty with everyday functionality.
***Modern Line Sofa - understated luxury Designed by Greta M. Grossman, 1949
The Modern Line Sofa, designed by Greta M. Grossman, the pioneering Swedish-American designer, embodies understated luxury. Introduced in 1949, this piece was well ahead of its time in its combination of slim proportions with a deep sense of comfort. The elevated frame and clean lines offer a graceful yet powerful visual impact. This floating aesthetic of the sofa makes it an ideal choice for minimalist and modern interiors.
A tribute to mid-century modernism, showcasing Grossman’s flair for sophisticated timeless pieces.
