Butterfly Twin Chair

Double Seater Design

Designed by Bárbara Giménez Weinbaum

The Butterfly Twin Chair, designed by Bárbara Giménez Weinbaum, is a unique and innovative take on the iconic Hardoy Butterfly Chair. Weinbaum's extensive research and understanding of the chair's design guidelines have led to the creation of a double seater version that expands upon the original dimensions while staying true to its historical roots.

The Butterfly Twin Chair is meticulously crafted in the heart of Europe using premium materials sourced from hand-selected suppliers. The frame is made of brushed stainless steel, providing durability and a sleek aesthetic. The seat is constructed from Holstein leather, known for its strength and suppleness, with a thickness of 3.5 mm. The careful selection and processing of the leather ensure a flawless finish without any noticeable scars or odors.

With dimensions of W 132 cm, H 89 cm, D 80 cm, and a seat height of 38 cm, the Butterfly Twin Chair offers ample space for two individuals to relax comfortably. It weighs 11,250 g, making it lightweight and easy to move around. Additionally, the chair is stackable, allowing for convenient storage when not in use.

The Butterfly Twin Chair is available in a range of colors, including tobacco brown, honey brown, coffee brown, white, and black. This versatility allows it to seamlessly integrate into various interior design styles and color schemes.

The design of the Butterfly Twin Chair has garnered recognition and accolades. In 2017, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category. This prestigious award celebrates designs that demonstrate exceptional creativity, technical skill, and a commitment to improving quality of life. The Butterfly Twin Chair embodies these qualities, showcasing the fusion of art, science, design, and technology.

The Butterfly Twin Chair project commenced in 2010 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and was completed in August 2012. It has been exhibited at the Red Dot Design Award Museums in Essen and Singapore, further highlighting its significance in the design world.

With its unique design, premium craftsmanship, and recognition in the industry, the Butterfly Twin Chair by Bárbara Giménez Weinbaum is a testament to the enduring appeal and innovation of the iconic Butterfly Chair.
