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. Today, the Beetle

has evolved into a natural family of typologies

comprising a dining chair, meeting chair,

lounge chair, sofa, ottoman, stools, as well as

counter & bar chairs.
