Butterfly Chair - Wood - 1958 Reissue - Ercol

The voluptuous curves on this design create an intrinsically eye-catching chair. The inherent springiness in the bent plies of the seat and back and the sculpted recessed shape, as well as the moulded wing shaped back provide a comfortable sit. The Butterfly chair seat can be selected in our Special Light lacquer finish, or in a choice of our painted finishes, which protects the timber as well as fitting in with your style and decor. A feature of this dining chair is the classic Windsor wedge joint, where the leg of the chair goes right through the seat : a wedge is then inserted into a cut in the leg, forming a remarkably strong joint. Sanded off flush with the seat, the joint then provides a beautiful design element. First launched in 1958 the Butterfly chair is as fresh today. With its distinctive curved bent plies, reminiscent of the profile of a butterfly's wings, the butterfly chair is one of ercol's most iconic designs.
