Description

Mathieu Matégot's dual-shelf "Biblio-Démon" as it is listed on his original 1954 sketches was expressly intended for a home library and study. The French designer sought to meet the demands of modern life with the then-novel idea of a modular shelving system which could be combined in multiples as needed. Timeless then and now, the veneered shelves come in natural oak, natural walnut or black-stained ash with distinctive the metal brackets lacquered in black.

Design is an unceasing continuum, believes this Danish house, now owned by a second generation. Owner and creative director Jacob Gubi Olsen inherited the helm from his parents Gubi and Lisbeth Larson, who founded the business to showcase their postmodern furniture. Under Jacob’s watch, Gubi added a global focus to its roots in Copenhagen, with a cosmopolitan array of furniture, lighting and interior objects.

Alongside 20th Century icons such as Robert Dudley Best and Greta Magnusson-Grossman, the design house has championed a new wave of design studios including GamFratesi, Space Copenhagen and OeO Studio. “I started out with two very strong designs, Bestlite—a Bauhaus collection designed in 1930—and Gubi Chair, designed in 2003. I felt they had something in common,” says Jacobs. “Iconic appearance, functional design, high quality, aesthetic design language and adaptable for many different kinds of interiors. I took these values as a guideline for any new designs added to the collection ever since.”
