Beetle Sofa
Beetle Sofa by GamFratesi for Gubi.
Inspired by the Beetle Lounge Chair, the Beetle Sofa features a rounded, protective outer shell with a soft inside – just like a beetle. The outer shell interplays with the contrasting soft inviting inside, encouraging to be seated. The delicate, slightly conical legs enhance the characteristic look, giving its light expression.
The Beetle collection is the result of the design duo GamFratesi's research on the anatomy, aesthetics and movement of a beetle. The design reinterprets the characteristic elements of the beetle’s sections: shape, shells, sutures, rigid outside and soft inside.

The duo was inspired by the eponymous insect and the way its hard shell protects the insect's soft body.
They have recreated this shell in laminated moulded veneer while the soft padding is made of moulded polyurethane foam.
