Developed by GamFratesi and produced by Danish furniture legend Gubi in 2006, the Beetle Lounge Chair offers a simple, clean, minimalist look; the essence of contemporary style.

Design partnership, GamFratesi embodies the meeting between Italian and Danish design. The considered and minimal approach of the Danish design tradition is combined with a sense of quirkiness and the desire to tell a story. With GamFratesi the contrasts are often key to their inspiration. They work strictly within the Scandinavian approach to craft, simplicity and functionalism but there is always a strong emotional pull towards concept and the story behind each piece.

  1. Which woods do Gubi use to make the Beetle Chairs wooden legs?
  2. All of Gubi's woods used in production comply with the European Union Timber Regulation (EUTR). EU Parliament and Councils use this mechanism to prohibit the trade of illegal timber. Black-stained beech, Oak, Smoked Oak, and American Walnut are all available options for the Beetle Chair's wood legs.
  3. What inspired Gamfratesi to design the Beetle Chair?
  4. Inspired quite literally by beetles' shells, the GamFratesi chair draws on the curves and angles of nature. The vast range of customisable options makes the Beetle Chair truly unique amongst other designer chairs.
  5. Is the Beetle Chair a good dining chair?
  6. Though the Beetle is durable, its polypropylene shell allows it to bend to mould to the user's posture. This level of design detail makes it very comfortable as a meeting or dining chair where you may need to sit for a long time. The dimensions have also taken careful consideration to create a shape that is not only graceful but human-form-fitting too. Not only this but, the all-important backrest is tall enough to support the spine. And alongside this, the seat is deep enough to encourage a more upright sitting position.
  7. How much does the Beetle Chair cost?
  8. You can get the original Gubi Beetle Chair with Conic Base from around £300. This is for the Unupholstered version. With the upholstered Beetle Chair the price climbs relatively. For example, the Velvet Beetle Chair comes in at approximately £900. Whereas the most luxurious upholstery options can be as much as £1500 for the same chair.
  9. Who designed the Beetle chair?
  10. Danish architect Stine Gam and Italian architect Enrico Fratesi came together to design the Beetle Chair. Gubi, a company/factory in Copenhagen manufacture the Beetle Chair for GamFratesi.

        Beautiful and high quality furniture!

        Excellent delivery and customer services, even during difficult times like Covid 19.

        Olson + Bakers service and products have been outstanding. I can't recommend Jonathan at Olson + Baker enough.

        He is an absolute star and has gone out of his way to provide superb service.

        It has been an absolute pleasure buying a lovely piece of furniture from Olsen + Baker. Russell has been a delight to deal with, keeping me informed at every step of the delivery, even down to which colour would fit with my decor - nothing was too much.

        I can’t recommend highly enough.

        Lovely website, great communication, fast delivery and they came in at a price other shops couldn't compete with on the chair I was after.

        Easily recommended.

        Great range of products.

        Purchased a beautiful rug from here and had a smooth overall buying experience.

        Bought some lovely wine glasses as a gift, quick delivery, great customer service and high quality product.

        Would definitely buy from Olson and Baker again.

        The service is superb and the website is so intuitive! 10 out of 10! :D Lee

        Really excellent customer service. Can not recommend this company highly enough - the products are high quality and their communication with the customer is first class. Jonathon always responded promptly to any queries and was very helpful.

        I would definitely buy from them again.

        Excellent communication and speedy delivery...

        Couldn't have been better and will certainly buy from the company again.

        Fantastic customer service throughout the ordering process.

        Great products - really pleased with my order.

        So glad I came across Olson & Baker for my home accessories that I would not find elsewhere on the High Street.

        Fantastic service, Jonathan was extremely helpful through my purchase.

        Definitely recommend and would use again.

        Thanks! Angela

        Excellent product but more importantly during these difficult times was the customer service level and great delivery team ....

        take note Heal’s as you’ve not got a clue how to service customers

        First class service.

        The Olson Baker team continue to deliver outstanding advice and product knowledge.

        Recently purchased a Nordic Style candle holder, which I had admired at a recent stay at a holiday home in Norfolk.  Product arrived very quickly. Contact via email from Jonathan. Excellent customer service and a gorgeous product too.

        Thank you Jonathan and all at Olson and Baker.

        Olson + Baker were wonderful to deal with.

        We purchased our item (a beautiful coat hook) but had to delay delivery due to a trip overseas.

        We weren't dealing with an automated system, just real people who cared enough to help.

        Very good service, great communication and arrived very promptly

        Thank you

        Beautiful item arrived earlier than indicated.

        Customer service informed me of this & then followed up after delivery to make sure it arrived safely.

        Highly recommend!
