Description
The Butterfly Lounge Chair, an exquisite masterpiece designed by French visionary Pierre Paulin in 1954 and brought to life by Artifort in 1963.
The Butterfly Lounge Chair captivates with its ethereal design, evoking the graceful flutter of a butterfly in flight. Its sleek base, fashioned from chromed steel rods, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, while providing sturdy support. The seat and backrest, ingeniously formed by two strips of stretched black leather, create an illusion of weightlessness, as if suspended in mid-air. The meticulous craftsmanship is evident in every detail, with the authenticity confirmed by the thick lace seam adorning the leather upholstery.
Inspired by the Streamline movement of the 1950s, the Butterfly Lounge Chair reflects Paulin’s admiration for design luminaries such as Ray and Charles Eames, as well as George Nelson. With its status as a coveted piece of 20th-century design, the Butterfly Lounge Chair has earned its place in prestigious museum collections, including the MoMA in New York and the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne.
