Elegance and dynamic lines

GUBI credits the chair to the design duo GamFratesi and says it is characterised by the contradiction between Scandinavian elegance and Italian dynamic lines. The page ties it closely to the Masculo Chair.

A backrest with two moods

The page calls the backrest distinctive and says it expresses almost aggressive masculinity while being gentle and embracing at the same time. GUBI describes a playful balance between formality and whimsy, a modern twist on the classic dining chair that evokes the image of the 1950s, and adds that the chair looks light and simple. Without armrests it fits around the table in restaurants and private homes alike.
