Grace Lounge Chair by Gubi

With its sweeping, gentle curves and intricate loops of flexible rattan, it supports a generous, upholstered seat and envelopes a plump, loose back cushion. Together they bring a comfort, tactility and and lightness that brings the outdoors inside, while the characteristics of the rattan frame give it a natural robustness and longevity.The timeless beauty of Tove Kindt-Larsen's 1936 design and the sustainability of the rattan material make the Grace Chair a highly versatile and popular addition to the GUBI collection.

TOVE KINDT-LARSEN

Tove Kindt-Larsen (nee Reddersen, 1906-1994) was one of the first female designers to emerge during Denmark's 'Golden Era' in the mid-twentieth century. An architect by training, with several years of furniture design under her belt, she embarked on a furniture design course at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, under the 'godfather of Danish design' Kaare Klint.

BALANCE OF ELEGANCE AND INFORMALITY

The rattan flexes under the weight of the sitter, adding another layer of support as it adapts to the contours of the body. The result is a daring balance of elegance and informality, resulting in a piece that will make a bold statement as it casts playful shadows across any interior space while welcoming those who regularly curl up inside it like an old friend.

It's natural robustness helps ensure that the chair has longevity - this coupled with the care that goes into its craftsmanship means that the Grace Chair might survive for a century or more
