The inspiration for the stool has been found in the insect world as GamFratesi looked closely at the anatomy and movement of the beetle. "The design of the stool reinterprets the characteristic elements of the beetles' sections: shape, shells, sutures, rigid outside and soft inside".
GamFratesi Studio was founded in 2006 by Danish architect Stine Gam and Italian architect Enrico Fratesi. The studio is based in Copenhagen, though Gam and Fratesi are continuously traveling between Italy and Denmark for development and research of new projects.
Gamfratesi won the Young Designer Talent of the Year at the Elle Decoration International Design Awards 2013.
