Inspired by GamFratesi’s original Beetle Dining Chair for GUBI, the Archetype Forms Beetle Chair is a contemporary classic that combines nature’s organic forms with modern craftsmanship. Originally designed in 2013, the chair’s design takes cues from the strong, articulated shell of a beetle, reflected in its curved, ergonomic form and subtle flexibility.
GamFratesi, the design duo of Danish architect Stine Gam and Italian architect Enrico Fratesi, captured the essence of functional elegance in the Beetle Chair. They once observed, “Its free, organic yet precise line is what makes the Beetle Chair unique.” This philosophy is evident in the Archetype Forms Beetle Chair, where flowing contours harmonize with meticulous detailing, creating a piece that is as versatile as it is visually striking.
The Archetype Forms Beetle Chair’s durable outer shell gently flexes to support micro-movements, ensuring comfort even during long use. Whether paired with bold upholstery for a statement piece or matched with subtle tones for understated elegance, the chair adapts to any space.
Perfect for dining, meetings, or additional seating, the Archetype Forms Beetle Chair blends functionality and beauty. Its customizable materials, including a wide array of fabrics and finishes, further highlight its versatility and universal appeal.
