The inspiration for Gubi's Beetle Counter Chair was found in the world of insects. GamFratesi carefully studied the anatomy, appearance and movement of a beetle. The Beetle Counter Chair's design reinterprets the characteristic elements of the sections of the beetle: shape, shell, junctions, a rigid exterior and soft interior. The subtle matte texture of the counter-support offers a soft-touchwiht outstanding comfort when seated. With a wide range of colours and base options, the Beetle Counter Chair is an ideal solution for both formal and informal spaces. Mix and match the seven harmonious colours to create a personal expression. The height of the Beetle Counter Chair contributes to its luminous expression, allowing it to blend into any interior with natural grace.
The GamFratesi studio was founded in 2006 by Danish architect Stine Gam and Italian architect Enrico Fratesi. GamFratesi is part of the latest generation of furniture designers, and together they represent a new interpretation of Danish and international design. GamFratesi's designs draw their creative impetus from the fusion of tradition and renewal, as well as from an experimental approach to materials and techniques. With their respective cultures, they draw their inspiration from Danish furniture and Scandinavian craft traditions, but also from Italy's timeless conceptual and intellectual approach. Thanks to this multi-cultural partnership, GamFratesi creates furniture pieces that reflect tradition while presenting unique stories, symbols and associations, often expressed in a minimalist style. The GamFratesi duo works with some of the biggest names in design, including Gubi, with the Bat collection and the now famous Beetle chair, Hay, with the Silhouette sofa, and also Minotti, Dedon and Fontana Arte.
