Since its launch in 2013, Gubi’s Beetle Chair has won over both the public and interior designers alike, becoming a familiar sight in the world’s most renowned restaurants. Its success stems from the balance between an eye-catching aesthetic, surprising comfort and a wide range of customisation options.
Inspired by the world of insects — and in particular the structure of beetles, a creative source for the GamFratesi duo — the chair offers a contemporary 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.
Beetle is available in three versions: fully upholstered and padded for a more sophisticated aesthetic; with a matt polypropylene shell, which is lightweight and functional; or with a padded seat and a 3D-moulded veneer shell, which adds textural depth. The bases, available in thin metal or wood, allow it to adapt naturally to different styles and settings.
Thanks to the wide range of colours, finishes and possible combinations, the Gubi Beetle chair proves to be a versatile solution in both formal and informal settings. Its modular nature invites you to play with shades and upholstery to create a truly personal look.
