Beetle Collection
By GamFratesi
Referencing the ingenious construction of insect shells, the Beetle
Dining Chair by GamFratesi has become one of GUBI’s most iconic
designs and a global success story within less than a decade.
Its durable outer shell is a continuous, curvilinear form, reminiscent
of the strong and graceful contours of the insect that inspired it.
Despite its robustness, it is designed to gently flex in response to the
body’s micromovements, echoing the complex movements a beetle
can make while keeping its parts rigid and defined. This intelligent
flexibility provides unparalleled comfort in this typology, even after
prolonged sitting periods.
The sleek, conical legs elevate the seat, lending lightness and
elegance to the design, which can be customized in a vast variety
of shells, bases and fabrics. This distinctive expression lends the
Beetle Chair a chameleon-like quality, which enables it to contribute
to the narrative of any space.
The initial design has evolved into a collection comprising the Beetle
Dining Chair, Lounge Chair, Dining and Lounge Tables, Sofa, Stool,
Ottoman, Counter and Bar Stools and Meeting Chair.
