The Butterfly chair is an iconic piece of furniture that appeared in the middle of the 20th century and was popular back then, and now it’s going through a revival. If you are interested in the piece and are wondering how to integrate it into your interiors seamlessly, here are some ideas but first
What Is A Butterfly Chair?
This floor-skimming seat features a lightweight frame, endlessly customizable hammock seat, and universal comfort. It consists of a metal or wooden (that’s rare) frame, which is light and foldable, and a cover, usually made of leather but sometimes of other fabrics, too. The Butterfly chair was originally made of very durable steel, and you can make or order a new cover leaving the frame.

What Covers For A Butterfly Chair Can I Find?
While buttery leather covers are the Butterfly chair’s most authentic skin, hides are also a popular style that offer that same blend of luxury, durability. Along with the production of more affordable Butterfly chair versions came the advent of canvas and fabric covers—smart options if the chair is intended for outdoor use, especially if the fabric is performance grade. By having the fabric suspended from its “wings,” the covers are more akin to a hammock, conforming to the body and moving with you as you relax into a state of repose. The coolest thing is that you can make some covers for your Butterfly chair yourself and custom any frame, using any fabric you like.

How To Style A Butterfly Chair?
A Butterfly chair cover is usually made of beautiful genuine leather, and it’s easy to style: with pillows, blankets and perhaps a floor lamp next to it. To play with texture, go for a chunky knit blanket or even prefer a faux fur chair cover for ultimate coziness. The Butterfly chair manages to blend in and partner fluently with a variety of decorating styles. Often showcased in a sitting room as a pair, a well-made Butterfly chair can also stand on its own.
