Since its launch in 2013, Gubi’s Beetle meeting chair has won over the public and interior designers alike, becoming a regular feature in commercial spaces too. Its success stems from the balance between an eye-catching aesthetic, surprising comfort and extensive customisation options – qualities that have made it an icon of contemporary design.
Inspired by the world of insects — and in particular by the structure of beetles, a creative source for the GamFratesi duo — the Beetle offers a modern reinterpretation of the distinctive elements of their bodies: the rounded shape, the protective shell, the fine sutures, the rigid exterior and the soft interior. An organic language that translates into an instantly recognisable design, capable of combining visual lightness with comfort.
The collection is available in three versions: fully upholstered and padded, for a more sophisticated aesthetic; with a matt polypropylene shell, light and functional; or with a padded seat and a 3D-moulded veneer shell, which adds textural depth and a more graphic character. The base is available in three configurations: a fixed 4-star base; a 4-star base adjustable in height via a pneumatic cylinder; or a 4-star base with castors, also adjustable, ideal for workstations and dynamic environments.
Thanks to its wide range of colours, finishes and possible combinations, the Gubi Beetle meeting chair proves to be an extremely versatile solution, perfect for both formal and informal settings. Its modular design encourages you to experiment with colours and upholstery, creating a personalised look that is perfectly tailored to your space, whilst remaining true to the refined simplicity that characterises GamFratesi’s work.
