Frequently Asked Questions

What upholstery options are available for the Beetle Meeting Chair?

The Beetle Meeting Chair is offered in three configurations: an un-upholstered shell, a fully upholstered version, and a 3D veneer front with an upholstered back panel. Each option is available across a broad range of fabrics, leathers, and shell or veneer finishes.

Who designed the GUBI Beetle chair collection?

The Beetle collection was designed by GamFratesi, the design studio founded by Danish architect Stine Gam and Italian architect Enrico Fratesi. Their practice is grounded in a dialogue between Scandinavian material tradition and the formal rigor of Italian design culture.

Is the Beetle Meeting Chair suitable for extended use?

Yes. The chair's ergonomic form and swivel base are specifically engineered for the sustained comfort required in meeting rooms and daily office use, distinguishing it from the lounge-oriented versions in the Beetle family.

Can the Beetle Meeting Chair be specified with castors?

Castors are available as an option, making the chair well suited to collaborative or reconfigurable workspace environments where mobility is a practical consideration.

How does the Beetle Meeting Chair differ from the standard Beetle Chair?

The Meeting Chair shares the iconic backrest silhouette of the original Beetle Chair but is built on a swivel base and refined for workplace ergonomics, whereas the standard Beetle Chair is designed primarily for dining or residential side-chair use.
