Story
A twist on the club chair
GUBI's page describes the lounge chair as a twist on the classic club chair form. In GUBI's view it works well on its own, and the same form suits a pair of chairs set by a fireplace, at home or in a hotel lobby.
The item on the page
The item shown, 10079629, pairs Chamois leather by GUBI in colour 1708 Cuoio with legs of solid American walnut in an oiled, natural finish.
