Beetle Bar/Counter Chair - Front Upholstered, Conic Base by Gubi
Design GamFratesi, 2013
With its striking, organic form, remarkable comfort and endless configurations, Danish Italian duo GamFratesi’s design classic is also available as a Counter Chair.
The Beetle Counter Chair’s outer shell is a continuous, curved form, reminiscent of the strong and graceful contours of the insect that inspired it. Yet despite its robustness, it is designed to gently flex, providing comfort even after prolonged sitting. The durable and subtly-textured plastic shell is available in seven harmonious shades – perfect for mixing and matching. Long, sleek and elegant conical metal legs add an overall lightness to the design, accentuating the ‘beetle’ aesthetic.
Simplicity of shape makes the Beetle Counter Chair ideal for variation, customization and modification over time. 65cm high, it is designed for kitchen and open counter settings in the home and is slightly lower than the Beetle Bar Chair. It can be fully upholstered, with a vast array of fabrics to choose from. It is also possible to upholster just the seat, or the front, revealing the hard shell at the back. With so many combinations possible, there is a Beetle for every occasion, whether at home, office or in hospitality settings.
This version of the Beetle Bar/Counter chair features front upholstery, a coloured plastic shell and a conic metal base.
