F300 Lounge Chair
Made by GUBI
Designed by Pierre Paulin
Pierre Paulin conceived the F300 in the late 1960s as a direct challenge to the rigidity of postwar furniture. Its biomorphic silhouette, low-slung and organically contoured, dissolved the boundary between sculpture and seating, reflecting Paulin's conviction that a chair should respond to the body rather than impose upon it.
GUBI's reissue of the F300 is the result of careful archival research and material precision. The flowing shell retains the proportions of Paulin's original drawings, while updated foam construction and refined upholstery execution bring the chair into genuine daily use without compromising its formal authority.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the F300 Lounge Chair and when?
The F300 was designed by French designer Pierre Paulin around 1968. Paulin was known for challenging conventional furniture forms with organic, body-responsive shapes, and the F300 is widely regarded as one of his most resolved works from that period.
Is the GUBI F300 a faithful reproduction of the original?
GUBI developed the reissue in close collaboration with the Paulin estate, working from original design documentation to preserve Paulin's intended proportions and silhouette. Modern foam and upholstery techniques have been applied to meet contemporary comfort and durability standards.
What upholstery and base options are available for the F300?
The F300 is offered in a range of fabrics and leathers, including options from GUBI's curated textile partners, alongside several base finish choices. The specific selection varies by configuration and can be explored through an authorized dealer or design consultant.
Is the F300 appropriate for contract or commercial interiors?
The F300 is primarily positioned as a residential lounge chair, though its formal strength and material quality make it suitable for high-design hospitality or private office contexts. Contract-grade upholstery options should be confirmed with the manufacturer for specific project requirements.
Where is the GUBI F300 manufactured?
GUBI produces the F300 in Europe, consistent with the brand's broader commitment to craft-based manufacturing. GUBI is a Danish design house with production partnerships across Scandinavia and continental Europe.
