About the Item

Beautiful Butterfly chair in dark brown stained pine and leather made in Sweden in 1960. Though we may not know the designer, the chair's top-notch quality speaks for itself. It's a blend of sturdy pine and smooth leather, giving it a unique appearance with a nice contrast between materials. The chair's cross-base has nice dovetail connections, showcasing the skilful craftsmanship of that era. What's even better is that you can easily take it apart for convenient transportation, making it practical and versatile for any space. The leather cover is beautifully connected to the frame with leather triangles which are put over the frame. This feature makes the leather almost floating. The chair is visually attractive from every angle. The leather on this Butterfly chair has aged beautifully, taking on a rich cognac color and gaining a lovely patina over the years. Its warm hue and character tell stories of its history. A beautiful timeless piece, reflecting the craftsmanship and design sensibilities of the past. Sit back and relax in this inviting chair.
