The Beetle’s lightness of expression
is partly down to the finessed form of
its legs. Tapering down from the frame
below the seat to the floor, the legs
have a conic shape that elevates the
seat and contributes to the delicacy
and refinement of the chair’s silhouette.
Visually softening the steel frame in this
way presents a significant technical
challenge, requiring that the steel be
heated and shaped to the finest degree
in order to balance the legs’ organic,
beetle-like elegance with the engineered
sturdiness of the frame.
After shaping, the legs are treated to
obtain different finishes in variations of
black, chrome and brass, each requiring
a unique surface application to achieve
flawless results. For the antique brass
variant, hand-polishing delivers the
distinctive vintage look.
