Gubi
Gubi values curiosity, courage and intuition, all of which are key components for their success. They believe design is all about discovering gems and following instincts. In order to do this one must travel, searching and finding remnants from the past as well as contemporary, cutting-edge designs from new artists on the horizon.
The result is an assorted, intercontinental collection that merges the past, present and future. An extensive mix of various aesthetics and thought-provoking designs characterised by simple, arresting shapes, original materials and innovative techniques. Instilled with a beauty that resonates all around the world.
Gubi has re-launched designs from the '30s, '40s, '50s, '60s and '70s, originally created by artists, sculptors, designers and architects internationally. Designs that capture a fleeting moment in history which remains relevant to this day. A perfect example is Bestlite, a series of Bauhaus-influenced lamps first produced in 1930 by British designer Robert Dudley Best. (Winston Churchill is one of several highly esteemed owners.) Gubi spotted a Bestlite lamp in 1989 and resurrected this beloved icon of last century as part of a stunning 13-piece collection re-launched worldwide.
