The Beetle Chair from GamFratesi was an instant classic when it launched in 2013, and the many new configurations that have been added since have made it suitable to almost any space and type of usage. Reinterpreting the characteristic elements of the beetles’ sections - shape, shells, rigid outsides and soft insides – GamFratesi conceived of a chair that is at the same time striking, refined, and sublimely comfortable. Now, the addition of a pneumatic height-adjustment cylinder to the 4-star meeting chair’s base, with or without castors, makes it even more flexible, able to adapt to the diverse needs of the modern workplace, whether that be at home, an office, or somewhere in between.
BEETLE & BAT EMBRACES CIRCULARITY
In a major step towards more responsible production, GUBI has redeveloped GamFratesi’s beloved designs using a recycled-plastic composite. Utilizing advanced technology and customized material blends comprising over 50% recycled plastic, GUBI has been able to make production significantly more responsible, while retaining the same quality and performance as virgin plastic. Every variant of both Beetle and Bat will now be available in the new material – a leap forward in GUBI’s journey towards phasing out virgin plastic.
INSPIRED BY NATURE
One of the most cherished chair designs in GUBI’s collection, the Beetle, have been given a functional makeover with the addition of adjustment mechanism that takes them to new heights of versatility.
