The Copacabana Lounge Chair was created in 1955 by Mathieu Matégot. The low Copacabana Lounge Chair has the impression of being designed with a single pencil stroke and the elegance of the chair resides in the continuous force of the line. It is constructed on the basis of a curved tubular frame that surrounds the round seat and the back made of the perforated metal Rigitulle sheet that often signifies the work of Matégot, ending with the continuous rear legs. The lounge chair, available in black and orange frames, is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, depending on the fabric upholstery of the seat cushion.
The 360o revision preserves the singular expressive genius of Matégot’s vision while introducing a bold new colorway and refining its ergonomics for modern-day body shapes. A precision-engineered adjustment to the angle of the backrest and seat maximizes comfort when sitting.
A low-slung lounge chair perfect for a relaxed, easygoing lifestyle, the Copacabana has a unique expression that seems to have been designed with a single stroke of a pencil. Both decorative and structural, curving tubes of metal form the legs, seat, and frame of the backrest, giving the chair a sense of dynamic motion.

In addition to classic black, GUBI has developed an edition in International Orange, a color that Matégot turned to in a number of his furniture and lighting designs of the 1950s, including early editions of the Copacabana. This bright, bold, and joyful color is favored everywhere from engineering and architecture – it is the color of the Golden Gate Bridge – to high fashion, where it has come to represent the heights of luxury. The use of orange introduces a distinctive playfulness to the chair, adding a contrasting softer dimension to the industrial hardness of the metal.

Copacabana’s new ability to migrate from inside to out is a natural evolution of Matégot’s own furniture vision. Like his comparably curvy Tropique Collection, the Copacabana Chair has a distinctly bohemian aesthetic and an alfresco feel, expressing its creator’s approach to living space, where the difference between indoor and outdoor furniture lies not in aesthetics, only in material.
