In the late 1930’s two young architectsJuan Kurchan and Jorge Ferrari Hardoy returned to Buenos Aires with Antonio Bonet i Castellana, a Catalonian colleague and friend with whom they had been collaborating. Together, the three of them brought a clear vision for a modern version of Fenby’s 1877 ‘La Tripolina’ chair. Unveiled in 1938, their chair featured a 12 mm steel frame and a heavy-duty leather seat.
Only a few examples were produced. Despite winning some awards, the chairs were left unsold in a Buenos Aires store. Two of the chairs were finally brought to the US, one of which went to Fallingwater, and the other which can still be admired at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Some years after the World War II, a new generation was ready for the trio’s seating concept. Originally named the ‘BKF’ (the initials of the three designers), the design became known as the “Butterfly Chair” or the “Bat”. Mass production took off in the 1950s and 1960s.
After more than 25 years in the leather industry, four new and exciting versions of this modern classic are now being produced in Sweden.

Materials and craftsmanship
The leather used in the Pampa Mariposa Chair is sourced from cattle raised on the grasslands of Argentina. Each hide is unique, contributing to the character of every chair.
A slow vegetable tanning process enhances the durability and depth of the leather, while skilled craftsmanship ensures a precise and long-lasting finish.
This focus on natural materials and careful production results in a chair that gains character over time rather than wearing out.
