Bee, the designer chair inspired by nature

Bee, the designer chair inspired by nature

FEBRUARY 2023 | 2 minutes

Actiu's trajectory has been forged on the vision of the future, effort and dedication. These are values that have turned a small contract furniture workshop into a leading office furniture company that exports all over the world. 

These values have always been based on design, quality and innovation, thanks to a corporate culture instilled through the professional ethics of Vicent Berbegal.

In the 1980s, his ingenuity gave rise to the first piece of furniture for TVs in Spain and, ten years later, the first table for PCs at home, at the dawn of what would later evolve into what we now call the Home Office.

Over the last thirty years, Actiu has not stopped growing, forging relationships, incorporating talent and trusting in professionals and designers who have driven the brand to what it is today, whilst always preserving its founder's vision, passion and commitment.

Bee is inspired by nature and more specifically, as its name suggests, bees; industrious insects, capable of creating spaces for their habitat by themselves. In the same way, due to its voluminous and striking aesthetic, Bee fills the space

Innovation and sustainability come together in its iconic shape. It is a piece that has already won a special mention at the German Design Awards in the category of Excellent Product Design - Furniture. It boasts the authenticity and personality of its creator, who has devoted his life to co-creating products and projects together with designers and architects. 

From this constant exchange of ideas and Vicent Berbegal's personal restlessness, Bee was born, a robust and delicate chair for corporate, contract & hospitality spaces. Made from 100% polypropylene and fibreglass, it is stable and versatile. The result of a refined sustainable process, based on engineering, innovation and material science.

The anti-UV treatment of the chair's materials limits the effect of ultraviolet radiation and allows this chair to be used in semi-covered outdoor spaces.

Bee's creation combines the brand's legacy and experience, on the one hand, with innovation and sustainability, on the other. These are values that have guided and continue to guide Actiu's endeavours today and will continue to do so in the future.
