GamFratesi took inspiration from the chair’s namesake, the humble beetle. By studying the anatomy and movement of these small creatures the designers created a unique shape for the chairs’ shells. These sleek, refined chairs work ideally around a dinner table, seating family and guests for years to come. Available in a range of beautiful contemporary colourways, the chairs can coordinate perfectly to match your chosen interior space.
GUBI has redeveloped the Beetle Chair seat shell using a recycled plastic composite. Using advanced technology and customised materials comprising over 50% recycled plastic, GUBI has been able to make production significantly more responsible, while retaining the same quality and performance as virgin plastic.
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.
