Gubi Olsen, founder of Gubi, has always pushed the boundaries to explore new directions in design. His starting point has been the rich Danish tradition of craft and furniture production, together with historical references.
The detachable and reversible seat cushion on the Bonaparte Sofa is made of polyurethane foam and is supplied with springs. The upholstery on the frame is fixed. The legs are in oak.
Gubi Olsen (1947 - ) together with his wife, Lisbeth Olsen, founded GUBI A/S in 1967. From the outset, the company has been based upon product design and development. Over the years, the designer couple have created a large collection of upholstered furniture and a furniture fabric, called Holmens Klæde.
