Frequently Asked Questions

What is the relationship between the F-Chair and the C-Chair?

Marcel Gascoin designed the C-Chair as a compact, upright seating form. The F-Chair adapts its essential structure into a more relaxed lounge posture, sharing the same architectural sensibility while shifting the proportions toward leisure.

Is the F-Chair suitable for year-round outdoor use?

Teak is a dense, naturally oil-rich hardwood that resists moisture and temperature variation well. With routine care, it weathers gracefully and develops a silver-grey patina over time if left untreated.

Who was Marcel Gascoin?

Marcel Gascoin (1907-1986) was a French furniture designer and one of the leading figures in postwar French modernism. He was instrumental in shaping affordable, functional design for reconstructed French housing, and his work is recognized for its clarity of form and structural intelligence.

Is the GUBI F-Chair made to order?

Yes, the F-Chair is produced as a made-to-order piece. Lead times vary, and it is advisable to consult with a design professional or authorized representative for project-specific timelines.

How should woven teak outdoor furniture be maintained?

Teak can be cleaned with mild soap and water and treated periodically with teak oil to preserve its warm tone. Allowing it to weather naturally is equally valid, as the resulting silver-grey patina is considered characteristic of the material.
