GUBI C-Chair Dining Chair - Paper Cord

The GUBI C-Chair Dining Chair reintroduces a vital piece of post-war design history to the modern home, capturing the practical genius of Marcel Gascoin’s 1947 original. Conceived out of the strict spatial limitations of post-World War II French architecture, this iconic dining chair was deliberately engineered to maximise room without sacrificing aesthetic warmth. It slots beautifully into a contemporary dining space, offering a far more historically grounded story than standard mid-century reissues while maintaining an unhurried, clean-lined profile.

The structural intelligence of the piece relies on an intentional visual contrast, matching stout, commanding wooden legs with a remarkably lightweight woven seat. This particular iteration is defined by its hand-woven paper cord surface, an incredibly resilient material that naturally shapes itself to the body over decades of use. The modern lines of the solid timber framework are balanced by this organic, textured weave, creating an understated elegance that shows off the sheer quality of the joinery rather than relying on unnecessary ornamentation.

We find these chairs behave beautifully around smaller circular tables or in busy open-plan kitchens where their compact footprint and airy silhouette keep the room feeling expansive. Because we manage everything from the UK’s largest physical stock of GUBI, you won't have to endure the typical months of overseas shipping delays. Our dedicated showroom specialists bring five-star expertise to every delivery, ensuring these historic pieces arrive ready to become a permanent fixture of your daily routine.
