About the Item

Set composed of chairs designed by Arne Jacobsen for the Brazilian airline Varig in 1950. The model of the chairs is the Butterly. The structure of the chairs is made of painted iron. The seat is made of curved wood. The chairs are called Butterfly because of its curved line that seems to be two wings. The rosewood wood has a wear and tear due to their use and age. On request the chairs can be restored, for a fee. Under the seat we find the original brand Danimark. The set of chairs is perfect to furnish essential dining tables with a modern taste.
