Story
Companion and soloist
GUBI says the Beetle Ottoman adds an extra level of comfort to the Beetle Lounge Chair, yet is expressive enough to stand alone and have its own say in the interior decoration.
Two fabrics, three bases
The page lists two fabrics, Around Bouclé by Dedar (004) and Dora Bouclé by Enzo Degli Angiuoni (0002), each in three base finishes: Brass Semi Matt, Antique Brass and Black Matt. Together they make the six items on the page, all fully upholstered on the conic base.
