The Gus* Modern Collection is the creation of industrial designer David Podsiadlo, whose vision was to create a line of contemporary furniture with a simple design aesthetic. Inspired by simple forms and honest materials, Gus* uses them as the springboard for everything they create. From the simple two-by-four and construction I-beam, to the useful miter box, they delight in the simplicity of everyday objects. Modern Furniture Made Simple.
WHO ARE YOU? We're Gus*. We design modern furniture.
