An icon of modernist design, the Pierre Paulin Butterfly Chair (also known as the F675) stands as one of the most elegant expressions of form and lightness of the 20th century. Its architectural wire frame and suspended sling seat create a silhouette so striking—and so deceptively simple—that it has earned a place in museums around the world, from Paris to New York.
This example features a new black sling, crafted in the spirit of the original material and fitted with precision for a clean, sculptural presence. The sling’s crisp lines counterbalance the graceful tension of the stainless steel wire frame, creating a seat that appears to float while still offering comfortable, relaxed support.
Paulin’s Butterfly Chair is celebrated for its ability to defy both gravity and convention. At every angle, the chair becomes a drawing in space—pure geometry, pure poetry, pure mid-century brilliance. Whether placed in a living room, entry, reading nook, or surrounded by contemporary art, this piece brings instant sophistication and design credibility.
