Mid-century furniture by Gubi (Denmark)

Gubi is a Danish furniture company that was founded in 1967 by Gubi Olsen. The company is known for its reissues of mid-century modern furniture classics, as well as its collaborations with contemporary designers.

Gubi Olsen was born in Copenhagen in 1937. He studied architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, and after graduating, he worked as an interior designer. In 1967, he founded Gubi, with the goal of bringing back into production some of the most iconic furniture designs of the mid-century modern era.

Gubi's first major success was the reissue of the Ant chair by Arne Jacobsen. The Ant chair was originally designed in 1952, but it had been out of production for many years. Gubi's reissue of the chair was a huge success, and it helped to establish the company as a leading force in the revival of mid-century modern more... design.

Over the years, Gubi has reissued many other classic mid-century modern designs, including the Egg chair by Arne Jacobsen, the Swan chair by Arne Jacobsen, and the Series 7 chair by Hans Wegner. The company has also collaborated with contemporary designers, such as Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Jaime Hayon, and Sebastian Herkner.
