Palermo Butterfly Chair
Dreamed up in 1938 by Argentine architects, the butterfly chair is an icon of modern design. Meticulously handcrafted from 100% vegetable-tanned saddle leather or ethically-sourced cowhide, this heirloom-quality piece ages beautifully – much like a fine wine.
We partnered with a small leather workshop in Buenos Aires to bring this timeless design back to life. To create these chairs, they use only the highest quality materials. Each one takes three days to complete, all made under fair trade standards.

United StatesFantastic Chair!
Beautiful in color and quality. Great chair and very comfortable!
United StatesBeautiful! Don’t be afraid to assemble!
I love my grey butterfly chair! I had some trepidation after reading the reviews which were critical of the assembly instructions. But mine arrived with color-coded tape and I assembled it by myself in 20 minutes. It’s a beauty.
United StatesThis butterfly chair is perfect!
This butterfly chair arrived quickly, was easy to put together, and is both beautiful and cozy. I love the wide profile and the leather is soft and buttery. It’s only going to get better over time.
United StatesGreat looking chair
Great chair, soft leather. The feedback on installation is true - a bit of puzzle-piecing. But once assembled it looks great and is a sturdy chair
Love it!
Beautiful chair - just as photographed! Great quality! Just make sure you find the online video to put it together - very complicated.
Great chair
We ordered the chair and it looks amazing! The leather is very rich looking and the chair is very sturdy and has been standing up to our very active son playing and sitting on the chair! Looks more expensive than it costs. Would recommend!
