Price History
Description
Access the design legend with this re-issue of a timeless, iconic armchair: the famous Butterfly armchair. Created in 1938 by architect-designers Jorge Ferrari-Hardoy, Juan Kurchan and Antonio Bonet, Butterfly has survived the changing times and styles to become a classic inscribed into the collective memory. A true icon, it has been part of the permanent collections of MoMa since 1944. Made up of a painted steel tube frame and canvas seat, the AA Butterfly armchair subtly combines form and function in an elegant marriage of minimalism and efficiency. This armchair is clearly inspired by the Modern Movement illustrated in France by the work of Le Corbusier: extreme sobriety, geometric, functional lines, use of steel etc. A true invitation to laze about, AA Butterfly is ideal for setting up a relaxation area that’s perfect for long discussions in your living room or garden (100% cotton canvas resistant to UV and weather). The flexibility of the covering as well as the enveloping shape of the armchair offer plenty of comfort! The cover of the AA Butterfly armchair is removable. So you can buy the canvas covers separately to change the look of your armchair in the blink of an eye! An AA Butterfly certificate is delivered with the structure with a reference number. Made in France, this high-end reissue scrupulously respects the spirit and quality of the original model designed in 1938. AA Butterfly is the registered brand name of AA New Design.
Our Stylist Says
I love the butterfly armchair for its playful yet sophisticated design, making it a fantastic statement piece in any garden space. Its sculptural form and black structure lend themselves well to modern or contemporary exteriors, especially when paired with lush greenery or minimalist landscaping. For practical styling, consider layering with colourful cushions or outdoor throws to add comfort and personality, or place it with a matching side table to create a relaxed seating nook. Its versatile aesthetic also means it can work well in eclectic, boho, or even urban terraces, offering both visual interest and functional seating for outdoor entertaining.
