Manufakturplus GmbH Overview

A real design classic unites esthetics and function. The form is simple, but stands out at the same time. The classic does not follow any trend, but convinces with a unique design and functionality. Exactly these characteristics apply to the legendary Butterfly Chair whose organic form reminds of delicate butterflies flapping their wings. The chair was designed by the three architects Antonio Bonet, Juan Kurchan and Jorge Ferrari Hardoy in 1938. In 1947 Florence and Hans Knoll acquired the rights for mass-producing this elegant chair. In no time, the Hardoy Chair became a style icon. But the success caused a number of copyists. This way replicas of poor quality entered the market. More and more. Hans Knoll tried to secure the exclusive rights at court – and he lost. It was because the Butterfly Chair had a predecessor: the foldable Tripolina Chair. In 1881 the Englishman Joseph B. Fendby designed the chair and had it patented. As an Italian camping chair and mobile military furniture for the British, the Tripolina itself had become a classic long ago. Bonet, Kurchan and Hardoy had failed to trademark their further development of Tripolina. After only three years Knoll ceased production. In the years that followed, the Butterfly Chair faced hard times. Cheap material and altered dimensions dramatically tampered with its original charm – the elegant classic was commoditized. Therefore, 10 years ago we made it our business at Manufakturplus to produce this special piece of design history with the highest quality standards in order to respectfully appreciate its original from 1938.
