BEETLE & BAT MEETING CHAIR

HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE

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.

 

NEW COLOR OPTIONS

 

 

With the new material comes a new range of color options. Created by introducing pigments to the plastic at the molding phase, the three new shades – Fern Green, Lunar Gray, and Mocha Brown – ensure there is still a Beetle and Bat for every interior setting – with three options for outdoor use in the existing colorways of Black, New Beige, and Alabaster White.

    • NATURAL ADAPTABILITY

     

     

    Both of GamFratesi’s nature-inspired seating designs are celebrated for their chameleonic ability to suit any setting, with versions available for use everywhere from dining table to bar counter to boardroom. Now, the addition of a pneumatic height-adjustment cylinder to the chairs’ base makes them even more flexible, able to adapt to the diverse needs of the modern home office.

    Today’s homes are more dynamic than ever,

    with the roles of different spaces changing throughout the day.

    CRAFT MEETS TECHNOLOGY

     

     

    The Beetle and the Bat are both designed to be equally at home beside the desk and the dining table, making this transition smoothly and seamlessly.They are are natural companions, sharing a design language and material identity, with ergonomics and comfort intrinsic to both seats.

     

    The Bat is beloved for the enveloping embrace offered by its fully formed, organically curving shell and armrest, whereas the now iconic, two-part Beetle is celebrated for the way the seat and backrest flex in response to the body’s micro-movements. Both chairs remain comfortable even when sitting for long periods – a benefit at the dining table, but an essential in the office.

    The new mechanism allows the user to change the height of the chair by up to 11,5 cm/4,5 inches by making use of a lever under the seat. This allows the chair to be optimized both for different people in the household and to the nature of the task in hand. With desk-bound work often entailing up to eight hours of sitting a day, the combination of flexible movement and adjustable height allows for optimal posture and maximum comfort, minimizing lumbar stress and helping to improve focus.

     

    The seats of the height-adjustable Beetle and Bat Chairs are set onto a black four-star swivel base in steel and aluminum – an elegant contrast to the five-star base common to commercial furniture. The base is available with either fixed gliders or castors, depending on whether the chair is to be used in one place, or wheeled around the home as required.

    INSPIRED BY NATURE

    From beetle to chair. The flexible and yet robust shell enables micromovements inspired by the articulated shell of a beetle and delivers comfort previously unheard of in this chair typology.

    GAMFRATESI

     

    Danish-Italian design duo GamFratesi has been working with GUBI since the inception of their studio and, with their own dual heritage, share GUBI’s ability to synthesize seemingly opposing ideas – the classic and the contemporary, the intellectual and the eclectic, the understated and the expressive, the manufactured and the unique. In the case of the Sejour Lounge Chair, the contrasts between light and weighty, warm and cool, and soft and firm, provide nuanced internal dialogues that capture the imagination.
