Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the GUBI Beetle Chair?

The Beetle Chair was designed by GamFratesi, a Copenhagen-based studio founded by Danish architect Stine Gam and Italian designer Enrico Fratesi. Their work bridges Scandinavian functional tradition with a more expressive, continental sensibility.

What is the seat height of the Beetle Counter Chair?

The Beetle Counter Chair is designed for counter-height surfaces, typically in the range of 24 to 26 inches seat height. Exact dimensions vary by configuration, so consulting the product specification sheet is recommended for contract or fitted installations.

What upholstery options are available for the Beetle Counter Chair?

The chair is offered in three main configurations: un-upholstered polypropylene shell, fully upholstered, and a 3D veneer version with an upholstered front panel. A wide range of fabrics, leathers, and shell colors can be specified across these options.

Is the Beetle Counter Chair suitable for commercial or hospitality use?

Yes. The Beetle collection was developed with both residential and contract environments in mind. Its structural integrity and breadth of finish options make it a practical choice for hospitality counters, restaurant bars, and high-traffic interiors.

How does the Beetle Counter Chair differ from the Beetle Chair and Bar Chair?

The three versions share the same organic, wing-shaped backrest silhouette but are scaled for different surface heights. The Counter Chair sits between the standard dining chair and the taller Bar Chair, making it the appropriate choice for kitchen islands and counter surfaces in the 35 to 37 inch height range.
