BEETLE LOUNGE CHAIR & OTTOMAN

BY GAMFRATESI

The low slung, generously proportioned Beetle Lounge Chair is an ideal suit for lounges and lobbies. Beneath the upholstered surface, the gently flexing shell provides extra comfort, while the low sitting position is ideal for curling up for long stretches of time.

 
 

ADD THE BEETLE OTTOMAN FOR AN EXTRA LEVEL OF COMFORT

A STRIKING SILHOUETTE WITH UNIVERSAL APPEAL

 

ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

 

The Beetle Lounge Chair & Ottoman can be customized in any one of a vast array of fabrics and materials, further echoing the versatility of its insect namesake. The distinctive silhouette enables the Beetle to carry bold colors with tactile expressions, or upholsteries can be color matched to the base for a more understated finish.

On GUBI.com/Upholstery, you can explore all suitable options from the GUBI Upholstery Collection.

 

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.

“Its free, organic yet precise line is what makes the Beetle unique. Every time we see it reinterpreted in prestigious international projects, it is an unexpected honor. But then, we have spent almost a decade with it, and that line, flowing harmoniously through space, still manages to charm even us.”

BEETLE AT THE ALCHEMIST

 

 

Blending art, drama, gastronomy and spectacular visuals into one all-encompassing multisensory experience, the Alchemist restaurant in Copenhagen’s industrial Refshaleøen is pushing the boundaries of fine dining. Two years in the making, Alchemist finally opened its massive bronze doors to the public in July 2019 and was awarded two Michelin stars within just seven months

 

 

GAMFRATESI

 

 

GamFratesi has been working with GUBI since the inception of their studio and the development of the Beetle Chair. With their own dual heritage, Italian Enrico Fratesi and Danish Stine Gam share GUBI’s ability to synthesize seemingly opposing ideas – the classic and the contemporary, the intellectual and the sensual, the understated and the expressive, the manufactured and the unique. These juxtapositions, as well as the boldness and curiosity that drives their desire to find inspiration in unfamiliar territory, are epitomized in the Beetle.
