Why We Love It
In 2013, GUBI and GamFratesi introduced the Beetle Chair to the world, and a modern classic was born. Now, a decade later, the studio has reimagined their landmark design concept in 3D veneer – giving the Beetle a bold new natural expression and further emphasizing its status as an archetypal design, open to interpretation in any number of materials. The veneer edition takes the organic, nature-inspired form of the original Beetle shell, and adapts it to accommodate the realities of working with veneer. The result translates the Beetle’s distinctive curves into a molded wooden shell, giving the chair a new material aesthetic without compromising the comfort for which it has become renowned, and expanding the design’s relevance to even more interior settings.
- Strikingly simple in form but full of personality, GamFratesi’s Beetle Collection combines crafted details and advanced manufacturing technologies to produce something truly original: a highly versatile, extremely comfortable, and beautifully expressive chair inspired by the forms of nature.
- Perfectly tailored to the human form, the flexible and yet robust shell enables the back to tilt in micromovements inspired by the articulated shell of a beetle and provides unparalleled comfort, even over prolonged sitting periods.
- The Beetle Chair’s shell can be customized in a vast variety of materials and colors, while bases are available in a range of carefully considered finishes, making it possible to put your personal touch to the chair and create one of a kind.
- With so many combinations possible, there is a Beetle for every occasion, whether at home, work or in hospitality settings.
- Available in oak or American walnut, the Beetle in 3D Veneer is made of responsibly sourced FSC® Certified wood.
- Sleek and elegant conic metal base supports a molded veneer shell. Shell exposed at back; front with dual layers of foam, upholstered in fabric or leather upholstery.
- Further customization including COM / COL available with extended lead time, subject to MOQ requirements, suitability testing and approval.
- Plastic glides included as standard; felt glides available upon request.
- It's possible to change and upgrade legs and upholstery over time to give the Beetle Chair a different expression and new life.
- Parts can be separated and sorted for recycling, Beetle shells are made of 100% recyclable polypropylene.
