GUBI Beetle Counter/Bar Chair - Upholstered Seat
Taking inspiration from the four-legged creature - the beetle, GamFratesi has been looking closely at its characteristic elements: shape, shells, sutures, rigid outside and soft inside. With its polypropylene plastic shell and seat upholstery, the Beetle Counter Chair has a light expression with an additional comfort. Thanks to its wide spectrum of colour options and upholstery possibilities, the counter chair encourages for personalisation. Due to its unique design, the seat upholstery can also be changed with time to give the chair a different expression and new life to the interior decoration. The height of the counter chair contributes to its light expression, which makes it blend into any interior naturally and with grace.

GamFratesi
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 dual traditional background, Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi draw on the classic Danish furniture and craft tradition as well as the classic Italian intellectual and conceptual approach. Understanding a tradition and addressing it actively in the workshop makes it possible to expand on it. From this cross-cultural substrate they create furniture that respectfully reflects 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.
Gamfratesi studio was founded in 2006 by Danish architect Stine Gam and Italian architect Enrico Fratesi. The studio is based in Copenhagen.
