The veneered version of the Gubi Beetle chair retains the iconic organic shape of the original shell, reinterpreting it to suit the requirements of bentwood craftsmanship. The soft, continuous curves, inspired by the structure of beetles, are translated into a moulded veneer shell that introduces a new material dimension without compromising the comfort that made the Beetle famous. A transformation that further expands the design’s versatility, making it suitable for an even wider range of interiors.
Inspired by the world of insects — and in particular by 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 and intrinsically harmonious design.
The Beetle chair in veneer is available in two versions, American walnut or lacquered oak, in perfect harmony with the upholstered seat in fabric or leather. The bases, available in thin metal or wood, further expand its expressive possibilities, allowing it to adapt naturally to different styles and contexts.
Thanks to its wide range of colours, finishes and combinations, the Gubi Beetle chair proves to be an extremely versatile solution, ideal for both formal and informal settings. Its modular design encourages you to experiment with colours and upholstery to create a truly personalised look that complements any space.
