Story
A new chair typology
GUBI's page says Pierre Paulin unveiled the F300 in the late 1960s and that its sculptural, futuristic form introduced a completely new chair typology. GUBI reissued it after exploring, understanding and re-engineering the production process behind his original vision.
Molé
The brown Molé colourway is described by GUBI as inspired by the darker tones of Paulin's original palette, shifting attention from the upholstery to the structure.
