Designed in 1954 by Carlo De Carli, the Gubi CDC.1 armchair embodies the essence of the elegant minimalism characteristic of that era, transforming clean lines and measured proportions into a gesture of refined modernity. Its slender silhouette, defined by dynamic, angular contours, combines functionality with a touch of playful originality, making it ideal for conversation, moments of relaxation and contemporary residential settings.
The armchair rests elegantly on the floor thanks to its slender metal legs, which create a harmonious contrast with the generous volume of the seat. The armrests, slightly curved like wings, add a poetic depth to the structure, whilst maintaining a bold, graphic character. To emphasise its quality, the outer shell is upholstered in soft leather, which complements the inner upholstery — in fabric or leather — creating a sophisticated two-tone effect and a balance of materials of great elegance.
The precise and measured stitching details help define its timeless presence, capable of enhancing every corner of the home. From the living room to the most intimate reading nook, the Gubi CDC.1 armchair becomes an ideal companion for socialising and personal relaxation, embodying De Carli’s lightness, formal purity and design sensibility.
