‘Around the world, millions of children are the innocent victims of conflict, disaster and climate crisis. As a global community, we have a responsibility to ensure they are protected and supported,' says’s chief brand officer, Marie Kristine Schmidt. The Danish design house has recently teamed up with Unicef to launch, 'Young Hopes', a campaign to support vulnerable children worldwide.
The ‘Pacha’ is available in three exclusive colourways: Lupo Special Diagonal Bouclé 007, Harp 102, and Mumble 02is one of the Danish brand’s most iconic pieces of furniture. Originally designed in 1975, the chair comes in both fixed and swivel editions. For this campaign, Gubi has committed to producing 100 chairs in three exclusive colourways: Lupo Special Diagonal Bouclé 007, Harp 102, and Mumble 02.
According to Schmidt, rather than launching a charity campaign focused on suffering and negativity, Gubi wanted to strike a note of optimism: ‘We want people to think about the possibilities for the future for these young people, rather than the traumas of the past. As a global design company, we were keen to partner with a charity with international reach that could help us make a difference on a worldwide scale.
