Gubi
Last born among the giants of high-end Danish design, Gubi stands out for its "heretical" style, very distant from the fruitful Scandinavian tradition. More than sobriety and simplicity, this company prefers a polished refinement, to the inspiration of nature it replaces clear retro-chic references, revisited with great inventiveness in a contemporary point of view. Suspended between past and future, Gubi furniture has a highly iconic appearance, combined with high quality construction. The Gubi catalog is very wide and covers all areas of furniture: from chairs to sofas, from tables to furnishing accessories, passing through a vast and appreciated selection of lighting.Read more

Designed by

Tobia Scarpa

Tobia Scarpa
Tobia Scarpa (1935-), son of the great architect Carlo Scarpa, has managed during his career to be credited with a strong artistic personality and not to remain confined to his father's shadow. He shared his entire sentimental and professional life with his wife Afra Bianchin (1937-2011), whom he met during architecture lessons at the IUAV in Venice, who co-signed with him all of his most important projects. The couple designed their first important projects for the company of Dino Gavina, a great friend of their father, which was later sold to Knoll. At the same time, they were accredited among the very first designers of two young companies born a few years ago and both destined for a great future: B&B Italia and Flos. Over the years other selected collaborations followed with major brands such as Cassina, with which Tobia won the Compasso d'Oro in 1970 for the Soriana sofa, and Molteni & C. Their career as architects was instead strongly linked to the Benetton company, of which they designed the first fabric factory and several shops around the world.Read more
