GUBI Tropique dining table, black

GUBI’s Tropique outdoor table exudes an air of glamor and luxury, particularly that of times past. Designed by Mathieu Matégot in 1951, the patio table comprises a slender, playfully curved metal frame and a perforated table top that allows sunlight to travel through, creating lovely patterns in its surroundings.

The Tropique outdoor collection was designed in the 1950s and relaunched by GUBI in 2022 as part of the GUBI goes al fresco range. Although Tropique was out of production for several decades, it remains as one of the few collections that most shaped Matégot’s early career with its decadent esthetic inspired by life in mid-20th century Côte d’Azur – the furniture series makes one think of luxury hotels, champagne towers and indescribably beautiful views of the Mediterranean Sea.
