Beetle Dining Chair - Front Upholstered, Conic Base by Gubi
Design GamFratesi, 2013
Taking inspiration from the four-legged creature - the beetle, GamFratesi has been looking closely at its characteristic elements: shape, shells, sutures, rigid outside and soft inside. With its polypropylene plastic shell and seat upholstery, the Beetle Chair has a light expression with an additional comfort. Thanks to its wide spectrum of colour options and upholstery possibilities, the chair encourages for personalisation. Due to its unique design, the seat upholstery can also be changed with time to give the chair a different expression and new life to the interior decoration. The comfortable yet dynamic design makes the Beetle Chair suitable for multiple environments whether it is in the home or the workplace.
Design partnership, GamFratesi embodies the meeting between Italian and Danish design. The considered and minimal approach of the Danish design tradition is combined with a sense of quirkiness and the desire to tell a story. With GamFratesi the contrasts are often key to their inspiration. They work strictly within the Scandinavian approach to craft, simplicity and functionalism but there is always a strong emotional pull towards concept and the story behind each piece.
This version of the Beetle Dining Chair features front upholstery, a coloured shell and a metal conic base.
