{"title":"Marcel Gascoin","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrench designer Marcel Gascoin (1907-1986) was one of the leading furniture designers of the post-war era. He is recognized for the vital role he played in the reconstruction of France after the Second World War, when his modular storage units and matching sets of wooden furniture, which focused on clean aesthetics and functionality, became a staple for French households.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the post-war housing crisis in France, Gascoin worked as an interior architect and designer for the French Ministry of Reconstruction and Urbanism, designing and building homes as well as the furniture to go inside them. He drew on his long-held love of wood, his childhood fascination with compact and efficient nautical interiors, and his training as an interior designer and cabinetmaker to create a new standard for furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday Gascoin’s work, unrecognized for a long time, has been progressively re-discovered by collectors, adoring his simple and striking furniture creations. GUBI has been working with the Marcel Gascoin archive since the reintroduction in 2018 of multiple editions of the C-Chair, followed by the Trèfle Stool, the B-Table and the S-Tables.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"c-chair-french-cane-black-stained-oak-frame","title":"C-Chair French Cane | Black Stained Oak Frame","description":"One of Marcel Gascoin's most well-known pieces, the C-Chair Dining Chair, was designed in 1947.
