The plastic editions of two of GUBI’s most popular dining chairs, the Beetle and the Bat, have been reimagined for outdoor use. Reexamining their materials, aesthetics and function has led to the addition of an outdoor treatment, opening up new possibilities and making the chairs perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.

Both the Beetle and Bat Dining Chairs are iconic in their design. Their organic shapes and distinctive silhouettes offer universal appeal. A tightly curated palette of two colours – New Beige and Alabaster White – for the shells and matching bases across both chairs enables them to fit perfectly into a variety of public and private contexts. The finishes have always been a fundamental part of the chairs, so an extensive study was conducted to develop the matt-satin texture, which offers a soft tactility.
