Beetle is a bar stool from Danish brand GUBI designed by design duo GamFratesi in 2013. The chair is characterised by its softly rounded shell and slender silhouette where organic shapes meet a pared-back base. The design draws inspiration from the anatomy of a beetle as reflected in the enveloping shape of the seat and the well-balanced proportions.

This version of Beetle has an unupholstered polypropylene shell. This durable plastic gives the chair a light and modern appearance. The shell’s subtly matt texture creates a pleasant surface while the ergonomically shaped seat offers comfortable seating. The base is made of metal with a matt black finish that provides a subtle contrast to the shell’s soft shapes.

With a seat height suited to kitchen islands and lower bar counters Beetle works in both private and public settings. The open and airy construction allows the chair to fit naturally into different interior styles from modern kitchens to restaurants and social spaces. Beetle belongs to a larger collection of chairs in several versions that share the same distinctive design language.
