The Design Icons Through Time publication has come of the interior space gurus at Gubi. The Danish company was initially established in 1976. It has since obtained the legal rights to the products of some of world's top designers.
This lookbook provides a look at how Gubi has reinterpreted and re-released vintage at-home pieces. References go as far back as the thirties as the brand has devoted pages to Greta Grossman, Barba Corsini, Bonderup & Thorup and Jacques Adnet. These print dedications are furthered by the way in which Gubi has bought the items to the fore of the furniture industry yet again. While updates are present, the label has clung to the fundamental layouts and cuts.
