The Basket armchair by Gubi pays homage, in both name and design, to the traditional technique of hand-weaving rattan baskets, reinterpreting it in a contemporary style. Compact, cosy and surprisingly soft, it brings a distinctive character to the living room thanks to its sinuous, enveloping silhouette, which immediately evokes the authenticity of craftsmanship.
Instead of the fibreglass inner shell originally used by Colombo, each piece is now constructed around a steel frame, which is more sustainable and durable, ensuring the stability of its iconic shape. This core is covered in hand-woven rattan, crafted from strips and oval pegs using a complex technique that requires great skill and precision. Inside this natural shell are the cushions: six cylindrical cushions that make up the seat, backrest and armrests, perfectly nestled within the curves of the rattan and designed to offer enveloping comfort.
Available in a range of fabric and leather upholstery options, the Gubi Basket armchair fits naturally into the living room, complementing the space alongside the other pieces in the collection of the same name and inviting you to socialise or read. Its traditional and classic charm allows it to adapt to a variety of settings: from country homes to the most refined contemporary interiors, always with the same warm, elegant and timeless presence.
