Beetle Chair Collection

GamFratesi's Beetle Chair collection for Gubi expertly blends traditional craftsmanship with modern production techniques, resulting in a one-of-a-kind chair that is both versatile and comfortable. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, Italian designer Enrico Fratesi and Danish designer Stine Gam have successfully merged opposing ideas, such as the organic and machined, timeless and modern, minimalist and generous. This innovative approach, fueled by a curiosity and boldness to explore new sources of inspiration, is exemplified in the Beetle line of contemporary chairs, stools, and sofas.

The Beetle Chair collection was conceived by GamFratesi through the intriguing concept of translating a beetle's shape into a piece of furniture. Drawing inspiration from the beetle's form and function, the design duo collaborated with the furniture specialists at Gubi to create a chair that is equal parts iconic and ergonomic, featuring a tough outer shell and a comfortable inner surface. The Beetle Chair's resultant form combines traditional craftsmanship with modern production methods, embodying the blend of mechanical precision and organic softness seen in its insect namesake.
