Knoll
Butterfly Chair
Price starting from € 1.696,00*
*Price valid for the version with black frame (cod. BF1 1).
Designed by Antonio Bonet, Juan Kurchan and Jorge Ferrari-Hardoy, the Butterfly armchair is an innovative, unconventional seat with an extremely distinctive design. Its sinuous and dynamic lines are articulated on a chromed metal or painted steel structure supporting the thermoformed felt seat. This element is fully attested as the true innovation of the product, as it acts as a self-supporting structure and cladding. The laser shaping of the fabric also allows the absence of additional seams, paving the way for a direct interlock of the seat with the steel structure for unparalleled comfort.

Landed in the United States at the beginning of the ‘30s, Hans Knoll, a young German-born son of a furniture-maker in Stuttgart, proposed to import into the new continent the modern European design, contemporary heritage of the Bauhaus. Died prematurely, his work was continued by his wife, Florence Knoll, who succeeded in establishing lasting partnerships with some of the greatest exponents of the modernist movement. Few years later the Knoll Associates was founded. Today, Knoll is not only a company of re-selling historic furnishings of great artistic value, but continues to innovate by offering creations of the major international design brands both in the home area and in the office furnitures sector.Read more
Antonio Bonet (1913-1989), Juan Kurchan (1913-1975) and Jorge Ferrari-Hardoy (1914-1977) were the founders of Grupo Austral, a collective of architects established in Buenos Aires in 1938, which made a fundamental contribution to the debate on the renewal of Argentine architecture. Influenced by Le Corbusier (at whose Parisian studio the three had worked and met), Grupo Austral promoted an idea of architecture as the "seed of the modern city", in which each building was seen at the same time as a form of expression individual and as part of a potential broader urban development that would contribute to improving people's living conditions. Grupo Austral will have a short life, dissolving already in the 1940s, but will have time to design a piece of furniture that has become iconic, the initiator of a real type of seating: the Butterfly Chair, very light and practical, of which the Knoll acquired the only original production rights at the end of the decade.Read more
