The GUBI Beetle Dining Chair is a molded polypropylene shell on a steel and plastic base, designed by GamFratesi and named for its beetle-like shape. The un-upholstered version is the lightest and most weather-tolerant in the line, with a shell that flexes slightly and a stackable frame. It suits modern dining rooms and open-plan kitchens where a sculptural but low-maintenance chair is wanted. Against rivals like the Eames Plastic Chair or Vitra Panton, it is more distinctive in silhouette but offers less padding and fewer finish options than upholstered Beetle versions.

Owners of the un-upholstered Beetle praise its looks and easy cleaning, and many treat it as a design piece rather than a lounge chair. The common complaint is that the bare shell is firm for long sitting and that the plastic feels less refined than the upholstered versions.
