The Design

About Butterfly Stuhl

Butterfly ist ein Stuhl, der von der Form eines Schmetterlings inspiriert ist. Die geschwungenen Linien der Flügel wurden abstrahiert und zur Form von Sitzfläche, Rückenlehne und Beinen weiterentwickelt. Rückenlehne und Sitzfläche sind – der Bewegung der Flügel folgend – jeweils zweiteilig gestaltet. Der Stuhl besteht aus Schnellarbeitsstahl und wird im 3D-Druck als ein einziges Stück geformt, was ihm hohe Festigkeit und einen metallischen Glanz verleiht. Die Konstruktion ist stabil, Form und Struktur sind harmonisch miteinander verbunden. Der Stuhl eignet sich zum Ausruhen, Lesen und als dekoratives Element.
