Histoire de la collection
Origine
Beetle est la famille GUBI issue de la Beetle Dining Chair de 2013, dessinée par GamFratesi, le studio de Stine Gam et Enrico Fratesi, qui travaillent avec GUBI depuis la création de leur agence. En 2025, GUBI et GamFratesi ont ajouté la Beetle Soft.
Langage de design
Chaque version conserve une silhouette iconique : la chaise de salle à manger entièrement tapissée, une chaise de réunion sur base pivotante et l'édition Veneer raffinée, dont la coque est moulée dans le bois. La Beetle Soft conserve la coque galbée et les pieds fuselés et coniques, mais son rembourrage, de style ouatiné, est plus souple et sans passepoil.
