Introducing the Beautiful Butterfly Chair & How to Style It
Imagine a perfect butterfly chair in your home. Your terrace must have this perfect
outdoor lounge chair that you have inherited from your parents. I remember that my
grandparents used to have one of these fantastic furniture pieces in their home.
The Butterfly Chair, Hardoy or BKF Chair is one of the most iconic chair designs of the
20th Century. A true cult icon, the chair is exceptional for both its broad appeal and
brilliantly simple design. The chair is beloved by the designers for the lightweight frame,
universal comfort, and customizable sling seat.
This classic version is strikingly gorgeous!
Boasting an overall laid-back aesthetic that appeals to a casual lifestyle, the Butterfly
chair also exudes a strikingly clean and sleek modern look that interior design
aficionados cannot help but swoon over.
While the Museum of Modern Art in New York houses one of the three 1938 designs of
the Butterfly chair, today, they are widely available. Lucky us!
Today, butterfly chairs are many times used to brace contemporary upscale interiors,
dorm rooms or other trendy interiors. And as an icon of Modernism, the chair looks
phenomenal both as inside furniture and out on a deck. So when I was looking to buy a

masterpiece for my own home, I started searching for a version of the chair that was
beautiful and elegant in the design. However, I did not stop there. I wanted a chair that
was not only pleasant to look at, but also one that was made to last. After weeks of
research, I landed on this iconic design of BKF Hardoy.
This chair is everything and more….
How to style it in Your Home
The beauty with simple design is what makes this chair look great in itself. Nothing extra
is needed to make the final touch, which is the main difference between beautifully
designed furniture and all the rest out there. Whether you are looking to add a
minimalist touch to your living interior or just in search of some comfy seating for your
next BBQ, with Butterfly chair you simply cannot go wrong.
Because of its simplicity, the chair works well with homes filled with Mid-Century
Modern furniture and modern home with minimal art paints and Boucherouite rugs.

Deadly combination of STYLE + RELAXATION
In your reading corner. The only thing you need is a reading light and a good novel
really. And yes, a blanket too. Try adding colors if you have a canvas version. Also, try
adding textiles in neutral colors to underline the beauty of the leather.
In your bedroom. There is something cozy about having a comfy lounge chair in your
bedroom. Whether it is the place you escape to when you need some ‘ME’ time or it is
the place to start your day, the Butterfly chairs are the perfect amalgamation of style
and relaxation. Avoid the trap of using it to pile your clothes and this will become your
