GAMFRATESI
GamFratesi Studio was established in 2006 by the Danish architect Stine Gam (born 1975) and the Italian architect Enrico Fratesi (born 1978). GamFratesi belongs to the latest generation of furniture architects and together they represent a new interpretation of the meeting between Danish and international design traditions.
“Our work is balancing between the traditional and surprising. Often it takes just a small detail to achieve or break an expression, and we are very curious about that.”
A FUSION OF TRADITION AND RENEWAL
GamFratesi's design takes its creative drive from a fusion of tradition and renewal and in an experimental approach to their chosen materials and techniques. With their diverse traditional background, they draw on the classic Danish furniture and craft tradition as well as the timeless Italian intellectual and conceptual approach. Understanding a tradition and addressing it actively in the workshop makes it possible to expand on it.
A PERSISTENT EXPLORATION
From this cross-cultural partnership, they create furniture that respectfully reflect tradition while also featuring unique embedded stories, symbols and associations, often expressed in a minimalist idiom.
GamFratesi aim to create furniture that illustrates the process and the techniques that created it, and which reflect a persistent exploration of the diverse border zone between harmony and disharmony.
“Both in work and daily life we are constantly confronted with contrasts, and we do work a lot with references and respect to traditions in both our cultures. We both have roots in strong design cultures. Studying, researching and moving constantly between our two countries, it has become such a natural part of us, that it will also show in our work.”
A NEW EXPRESSION OF THE BEETLE
One of the hallmarks of great design is its ability to evolve. Since its conception in 2013, the Beetle has become a landmark of modern seating design, expanding across types, styles, and settings, yet always remaining rooted in GamFratesi’s nature-led vision. Now, GUBI and GamFratesi unveil one of its most significant transformations to date: Beetle Soft, a new expression that embraces volume, softness, and a less formal visual language while staying true to the iconic silhouette that made the chair a global success.
EPIC COLLECTION
Designed and named in homage to the architectural traditions of ancient Greece and Rome, the tables of the Epic Collection are characterized by their monolithic silhouettes and materiality. Where the interior iterations are crafted from travertine or steel, the Epic Outdoor Table takes a new material direction, exploring the mesmerizing visual expression and impressive durability of quartzite.
“We work strictly with the Scandinavian approach to crafts, simplicity and functionalism, but there always happens to be a strong emotion to concept and story behind each work.”
