While cutting-edge technology and production techniques deliver the high
degree of accuracy needed to create the Beetle’s extraordinary shape, the
final touches that underpin its crafted identity are performed manually. After
the shell has been molded, excess plastic is carefully cut away by hand to
refine the chair’s soft contours and edges. Upholstery fabrics and leathers are
individually checked and quality-tested for any imperfections, and individually
inspected to ensure they are evenly stretched across the curved shell. Where
the front and back panels meet, a special piping technique adds an aesthetic
finish, with the final stitching completed by hand.
