Beetle in 3D veneer by GamFratesi
“The design language of the Beetle Chair lends itself to be rendered in wood, which underscores the Beetle’s
‘inspired by nature’ story. Wood is a fantastic, warm, and natural material and the Beetle in 3D veneer
manages to express the best of these aesthetic characteristics. The shell has always been a design feature; the
shape of the Beetle is graceful, perfectly curved. Veneer is the ideal material to mold into this organic form – the
three-dimensional shape enhances its grain and color.”
– Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi, GamFratesi
