The Bat chair references the characteristics of bats, with its attractive and distinctive shell reminiscent of the shape of a bat's wingspan. Designed by Italian-Danish design duo GamFratesi for Gubi, the Bat chair was created with a Scandinavian approach, finding its balance between traditional and surprising. With a strong history and minimalism-inspired associations, the design of the Bat Dining Chair is as simple as it is functional. The wide range of shell and base options in different colours and finishes makes the Bat dining chair perfectly adaptable to a variety of public and private settings. In this version, the Light Bouclé fabric adds a warm touch to any dining room.
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.
