Marcel Gascoin

Marcel Gascoin, a French architect and designer, was known for his modernist furniture designs in the mid-20th century. Born in 1907, Gascoin studied architecture and later became a renowned furniture designer. Gascoin’s work is characterised by clean lines, practical design, and an emphasis on high-quality materials. Influenced by ergonomics and mass production, his furniture was practical and stylish. His iconic “C-series” of furniture featured simple, understated designs to be produced on a mass scale.

Gascoin also designed lighting fixtures reflecting his modernist aesthetic, characterised by contemporary, minimalist forms and innovative materials. Additionally, his collaboration with well-known French furniture manufacturers brought his modernist designs to a wider audience. His ageless furniture and lighting designs are celebrated for their functionality, elegance, and enduring appeal, making him a key figure in modernist design history.

In the UK, clean and minimalist designer furniture, like the Gubi dining table, was particularly popular. Scandinavian dining tables, with luxurious and unique designs, were also in high demand. Furniture companies offered a wide range of modern dining tables, appealing to the growing desire for designer furniture. The S-Table dining table, known for its unique and minimalist design, was a prime example of the trend toward clean, simple lines with a focus on functionality.
