Story
The four-legged insect
GUBI says the chair carries strong references to GamFratesi's inspirational source, the four-legged insect. The page says the design reinterprets what characterises a beetle's sections, namely their shape, shells and sutures, and the pairing of a rigid outside with a soft inside.
A generous seat for relaxing
The product page calls the Beetle Lounge Chair the perfect lounge chair for relaxation in a contemporary home, and points to the wide range of upholstery options as the way to match the interior.
