Beetle Bar Chair
Made by GUBI
Designed by GamFratesi
The Beetle Bar Chair carries the unmistakable language of GamFratesi's Beetle collection into the vertical proportions of bar and counter seating. Designed by the Copenhagen and Milan-based duo Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi, the chair draws its form from the organic geometry of a beetle's shell, where a softly curved back meets a structured seat with quiet authority.
Shell configurations span un-upholstered polypropylene, fully upholstered versions, and 3D veneer with front upholstery, each expressing a distinct material character while preserving the silhouette's essential lightness. Base finishes extend the design's adaptability across residential and hospitality contexts without compromising its formal integrity.
