Sculptural Butterfly Lounge Chairs by Jorge Ferrari Hardoy in Cognac Leather

About the Item

Pair of Sculptural Butterfly Lounge Chair designed by Jorge Ferrari-Hardoy, circa 1960s. Rarely seen in their original cognac leather, these chairs have a great patina that you only get with age. Broken in like your favorite baseball glove. The leather slings have been cleaned and conditioned. The iron frames are sturdy and well made and probably have been repainted at some point.
