Butterfly TWIN CHAIR leather tobacco brown

Benches from Weinbaums, Designed by Bárbara Giménez Weinbaum

Product description

Following the work of Patricia Urquiola and Eduardo Chillida, Bárbara Giménez Weinbaum has reinterpreted one of the most influential design classics of the 20th Century. As a former student of the Madrid School of Architecture, Weinbaum has expanded the sculptural forms of the Hardoy Butterfly Chair and translated them into a sofa. Based on the draft by Bonet, Kurchan and Ferrari-Hardoy, the resulting two-seater picks up the harmonious geometry of the original design and offers exceptional seating comfort. It is a timeless eye-catcher and aesthetic sofa in one.

WEINBAUMS has been studying the design guidelines of the Hardoy Butterfly Chair since the year 2010, our company manufactures the chair in the greatest possible accordance with the original model (1938, Buenos Aires). Based on our in-depth discussion with the history of the design, we have applied the concept of repetition to the chair and expanded its original dimensions by one seat.

The Butterfly TWIN CHAIR is produced with premium materials. The Holstein cattle that is held at selected estancias throughout the provinces of Córdoba and Santa Fe feed during their two-year life exclusively on grass; meat and bone meal was outlawed decades ago. Untreated, all year round usable pastures and exceptional freedom (two cattle share a hectare of land) provide more than 3,000 calves, cows and bulls at our partner companies with excellent conditions. The result: Exceptionally durable leather whose soft touch will inspire you every day anew. The sofa comes with a brushed, at six intersections welded frame of stainless steel. To emphasize its exceptional seating comfort, the cover is exclusively manufactured from vegetable tanned leather from cattle bare neck of the above-mentioned breed Holstein.

Like all of our pieces is also the Butterfly TWIN CHAIR exclusively manufactured in Germany. Reduced dimensions and its light weight permit flexible use in the office, at home or in public spaces.
