Designed by Gamfratesi for Gubi, the second-hand Beetle stool is both highly appreciated by design enthusiasts and widely used in hotel and restaurant interiors around the world.
The durable outer shell of the Beetle is a continuous, curved form, reminiscent of the strong and graceful lines of the insect that inspired it.
Despite its sturdiness, it is designed to flex slightly, providing comfort even during prolonged sitting.

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.
