Jorge Ferrari Hardoy designed one of the most imitated chairs in modern furniture history — the butterfly chair, or as Knoll sold it for three years, the Hardoy Chair. Hardoy received his degree in architecture from the Universidad de Buenos Aires in 1939. He had lived the previous year in Paris, where he worked with Le Corbusier on his never-realized urban plans for Buenos Aires. In 1938, along with Antonio Bonet and Juan Kurchan, Hardoy designed a leather sling chair inspired by a wooden folding chair popular in Europe. The simple design garnered unexpected popularity and attention, and, in 1947, Hans Knoll licensed the design and introduced it to the Knoll collection. Unable to protect the license as knockoffs flooded the market, Knoll discontinued production in 1950. Best known for his iconic chair design, Hardoy remained an active designer, architect, and city planner until his death.Cuero creates leather, lamb skin, cow hide and canvas chairs – all with the craftsmanship of Scandinavian furniture making and an Argentinean aesthetic for a true global design.
But what’s really exciting are the available styles of their butterfly chair.Abrazo is a very modern expression of the traditional sling back chair and replaces the double-winged aesthetic of the dipping backrest with a one that tapers ever upward to create a sleek and sexy profile. Even the matching footrest has a tapered design.All the Cuero chairs are available with footrests.Pampa Mariposa is created using natural hides that have been cured using a slow vegetable tanning method. This prepares the thick leather before it is further hand-crafted by skilled saddle makers. This chair is available in Nature, Chocolate, Polo, Black, Oak and Montana.Pampa Cow – like all the Pampa chairs – gets its name from La Pampa in Argentina, a location famous for its traditional and old style free range grassland cattle raising. I love how the white portions of the hide are positioned on the two ends of the chair – like an Oreo cookie in reverse.Canvas Mariposa comes in black, white, nature, orange and this super cool and crisp hue of turquoise.
The fabric is both ecological and sturdy because the canvas is made from hemp and attached to a solid steel frame.La Mariposa or the Butterfly chair was designed in Buenos Aires in 1938 and the Cuero Mariposa reproductions are as exciting as the originals. The Iceland Mariposa is made exclusively in lambskin from the rugged landscapes of Iceland. This thick and luxurious lambskin seat is Iceland Wild White.Whether canvas, lambskin or leather, the sling-back style adds a relaxed flavor to any room.Aside from being adorable, the Iceland Shorn White chairs are a comfy cozy and warm place to curl up and enjoy life – indoors or out.La Mariposa is also known by the name BKF chair, which are the initials of its three original creators Boent, Kurchan and Ferrari.

This is a beautiful chair for the price. Leather is comfortable and I love having it in my bedroom. Well built and very sturdy.tips over sometimes when you get off it This chair definitely looks better in the picture than how it functions in real life. The metal legs are difficult to put together since they rely on friction to stay assembled the pieces kept falling apart during the build, making it hard to add the next piece. Once assembled the actual seat area feels too short and I'm only 5'9". Definitely an ottoman is needed to sit in this chair comfortably. AND, if you try and exit the chair on a smooth surface (wood or tile), it slides from under you placing you firmly on your arse. Because of the difficulty of assembly and the weird functionality, this chair should be priced well below $***. This chair is a great alternative to the expensive version. It's confortable and looks nice in our living room. It was a little tricky to put together, but worked out in the end.
This chair is absolutely beautiful. It looks and feels very expensive and the quality is impressive. I highly recommend this product. Too Small, Too Difficult, Too Lightweight This chair does not at all look or feel like the picture. It was too hard to assemble, was wobbly once assembled and was so lightweight it moved at the slightest touch. The cover was extremely unforgiving and no matter how many ways you sat it in you slipped out ! I was extremely disappointed and will be returning it. a pain in the @%%! I was disappointed in this butterfly chair and returned it. The legs are rather clunky and the joints didn't go together well and the chair seemed too low to the ground compared to the original iron butterfly chairs. Also, because the frame is tubular, it is thick looking. It wasn't at all what I had in mind.
