Since its foundation in 1967, GUBI has been designing and developing products with iconic and timeless designs, often re-editing past masterpieces that have often been forgotten. Over the years, the two founders, architects Gubi and Lisbeth Olsen, have created a large collection of furniture, putting into production pieces of design history from the 1930s to the present. The aim is to produce and carry forward timeless design, thanks to guidelines such as innovation, functionality and quality.

Gio Ponti, born in 1891 in Milan, was an Italian architect, designer and professor. In all the sectors in which he worked, from interior to contract, Gio Ponti was the bearer of a message and a new perspective: the invitation to surround yourself with beauty as an incentive to enjoy life in its entirety. In 1947 he dedicated himself to the magazine Stile, carrying forward his desire to spread art and architecture with the creation of the "culture of living". In 1954 he invented the Compasso d'Oro award and in 1956 he created the Pirellone in Milan, considered one of his greatest masterpieces. He died in Milan in 1979.
