GUBI Bat Dining Chair with Front Upholstery and Conic Base

The GUBI Bat Dining Chair with Front Upholstery and Conic Base is a luxury designer dining chair designed by the Danish-Italian studio GamFratesi. Characterised by its iconic, nature-inspired shell silhouette that mimics the wingspan of a bat, this high-end seating piece delivers a clean, architectural focal point engineered specifically for contemporary residential and public interiors.

The chair is meticulously configured with a front-upholstered seating surface that provides exceptional ergonomic support and premium comfort during extended dining or meetings. This semi-upholstered design maintains the crisp, clean lines of the external polypropylene shell while introducing a soft, body-contouring interior layer. The low-profile, non-swivel conic base provides a rigid, wobble-free foundation across all flooring types, while the armless profile ensures the chair slides fully underneath standard-height dining tables to optimise spatial layout and peripheral movement.

Built to commercial-grade standards, the lightweight yet robust outer shell is injection-moulded from high-density, impact-resistant polypropylene that guards against scratches and scuffs. The stable conic base is constructed from premium tubular steel finished with a hard-wearing, technical powder coating to resist daily wear and oxidation. This versatile model can be specified in a wide palette of architectural shell colours, which can be paired with an extensive range of luxury front textiles or high-grade leathers to meet precise interior specifications.

This contemporary dining chair functions exceptionally well when grouped around formal rectangular dining tables, positioned in open-plan kitchen-diners, or utilised as executive seating in high-end boardrooms and home offices. Its distinct, cohesive aesthetic coordinates effortlessly with minimalist steel bases, modern marble surfaces, or classic solid timber dining tables.
