Beetle Chair Un-Upholstered Conic Base

GamFratesi's Beetle Chair design takes its creative drive from a fusion of tradition and renewal in an experimental approach to its chosen materials and techniques. With their traditional dual background, Stine Gam (born 1975) and Enrico Fratesi (born 1978) draw on the classic Danish furniture and craft tradition and the classic Italian intellectual and conceptual approach.

Understanding a tradition and addressing it actively in the workshop makes it possible to expand on it. From this cross-cultural substrate, they create furniture that respectfully reflects tradition while featuring unique embedded stories, symbols and associations, often expressed in a minimalist idiom. This un-upholstered version is perfect for families as it can be easily cleaned without stress about the fabric being stained.

About the Designer: GamFratesi

GamFratesi Studio was established in 2006 by the Danish architect Stine Gam (born 1975) and the Italian architect Enrico Fratesi (born 1978). GamFratesi belongs to the latest generation of furniture architects and together they represent a new interpretation of the meeting between Danish and international design traditions.

“Our work is balancing between the traditional and surprising. Often it takes just a small detail to achieve or break an expression, and we are very curious about that.”
