Designed in 1951 by Greta M. Grossman, the Gubi GMG chaise longue perfectly embodies the playful yet refined elegance for which the designer is renowned. Designed to follow the body’s curves naturally, it offers an ideal angle for relaxation, transforming the act of sitting into a fluid and spontaneous experience. Whilst prioritising comfort, the GMG retains all the slender qualities of mid-century design: light proportions, clean lines and a visual balance that seems to defy gravity.
Its silhouette, shaped with an almost graphic continuity, gives the impression of floating above the characteristic slender, sloping legs, a hallmark of Grossman’s formal language. The frame cradles the body with a soft, inviting profile, whilst the elongated seat invites you to stretch out, read or simply surrender to a moment of tranquillity. Every detail — from the curve of the headrest to the gentle slope of the base — is designed to encourage a relaxed posture, without compromising on aesthetic precision.
The Gubi GMG chaise longue combines functionality and visual poetry: an icon of modernism that, even today, brings a sense of lightness, dynamism and sophisticated simplicity to interiors.
