Referencing the ingenious construction of insect shells, the Beetle

Dining Chair by GamFratesi has become one of GUBI’s most iconic

designs and a global success story within less than a decade.

Its durable outer shell is a continuous, curvilinear form, reminiscent

of the strong and graceful contours of the insect that inspired it.

Despite its robustness, it is designed to gently flex in response to the

body’s micromovements, echoing the complex movements a beetle

can make while keeping its parts rigid and defined. This intelligent

flexibility provides unparalleled comfort in this typology, even after

prolonged sitting periods.

The sleek, conical legs elevate the seat, lending lightness and

elegance to the design, which can be customized in a vast variety

of shells, bases and fabrics. This distinctive expression lends the

Beetle Chair a chameleon-like quality, which enables it to contribute

to the narrative of any space.

The initial design has evolved into a collection comprising the Beetle

Dining Chair, Lounge Chair, Dining and Lounge Tables, Sofa, Stool,

Ottoman, Counter and Bar Stools and Meeting Chair.
