Beetle Meeting Chair
Made by GUBI
Designed by GamFratesi
The Beetle Meeting Chair carries the organic sensibility of GamFratesi's celebrated Beetle collection into the rhythms of professional life. Its gently rounded backrest, a form the Copenhagen and Milan-based duo drew from the curved carapace of the beetle, retains its sculptural warmth even as the design adapts to the demands of the contemporary workplace.
Designed for GUBI, the chair sits on a refined swivel base engineered for the long hours of a boardroom or a focused home office. Three distinct upholstery expressions are available: un-upholstered shell, fully upholstered, and a 3D veneer front with upholstered reverse. Each responds differently to light and materiality, allowing the chair to read as furniture or architecture depending on the context.
- Swivel base with optional castors for flexible workspace configurations
- Choice of un-upholstered shell, full upholstery, or 3D veneer front
- Wide range of shell finishes, veneer species, and fabric or leather options
- Proportioned for extended seating comfort in meeting and collaborative settings
GamFratesi, the partnership of Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi, works at the intersection of Scandinavian craft tradition and Italian design rigor. The Beetle series, one of GUBI's most recognized contemporary achievements, reflects that dialogue in every curve.
