About Butterfly Cadira

Butterfly és una cadira inspirada en la forma d'una papallona. Les línies corbes de les ales van ser extretes i desenvolupades en la forma del seient, el respatller i les potes. El respatller i la superfície del seient es divideixen en dues parts, seguint el moviment de les ales. La cadira està feta d'acer d'alta velocitat i es modela com una peça única mitjançant impressió 3D, la qual cosa li confereix una bona resistència i una lluentor metàl·lica. L'estructura és estable, i la forma i l'estructura estan ben integrades. La cadira es pot fer servir per descansar, llegir i com a element decoratiu.
