Gubi MR01 Initial Chair

MR01 Initial Chair designed by Mathias Steen Rasmussen for Gubi.

A contemporary and striking lounge chair, designed by woodworker Mathias Steen Rasmussen. The designer combines traditional craftsmanship with a bold modern form to create an inviting chair to suit any contemporary interior. Incorporating a low slung creates a sense of calmness. 

The seat and backrest are hand-woven from 90 meters of rope, using a method the designer developed himself, which locks the rope into the frame.

“The chair emanates from a simple construction, optimized for production and made with the intent of lasting as long as the materials themselves permit it to. It is honest in its construction, multi-functional, and is easy to understand. Because the rope gives the seat and backrest a certain transparency, it is so light that it almost appears to float.” – Mathias Steen Rasmussen
