Violin Chair – Gubi 

‘In designing the Violin Chair, GamFratesi set out to distil the archetypal form of a chair into its purest representation, without losing the sense of character for which they have become renowned.

The name references the two parallel lines that extend from the backrest to a horizontal bar below the seat, evoking two parallel strings on a violin, or even a tuning fork. It was these two lines, in the form of two pencil marks on the very earliest sketch, that provided the initial spark of inspiration for the design. The musicality of the name resonates with a chair that reflects a musical instrument in its geometry, symmetry and craftsmanship.’
