Description

This Butterfly Chair, Model 198, designed by Jorge Ferrari-Hardoy for Knoll International, combines sculptural elegance with relaxed comfort.

Ferrari-Hardoy, a pioneering Argentine architect and designer, co-created the Butterfly Chair in 1938 and is celebrated for his modernist approach, emphasizing lightweight construction, functional elegance, and sculptural form. The chair’s iconic sling design has become a timeless favourite in both residential and professional interiors.

This seat features beautifully aged brown saddle leather that drapes naturally over the frame, creating a comfortable and inviting form that adapts to the sitter. The chair rests on a white-coated metal frame, giving it a clean, lightweight, and airy appearance while ensuring stability and durability. The contrast between the warm leather and crisp white base enhances the visual appeal.T

This example retains its stylish presence with a pleasing patina on the saddle leather and a solid, well-preserved frame.
