AA Butterfly© armchair: the icon of modern design

Designed in 1938 by architects Jorge Ferrari-Hardoy, Juan Kurchan, and Antonio Bonet, the AA Butterfly© armchair, an icon of modern and sustainable design, has its roots in the 1855 folding chair by Joseph Beverly Fenby, continuing to inspire designers around the world.

Use of high-quality materials and artisanal production

With its recycled steel frame and leather seat, this armchair revolutionized the concept of furniture with its minimalist design. Added to the permanent collection of the MoMA in New York, it was later mass-produced by Knoll, becoming an emblem of style, craftsmanship, and innovation in contemporary design.
