“Farfalla” lounge chair by Frans Willigers, Netherlands, 2018

The “Farfalla” lounge chair is a striking contemporary design piece that combines playful imagination with precise craftsmanship. Its name, Italian for “butterfly, ” reflects the sculptural silhouette of the chair, with wings that open outward in bold geometric planes. Upholstered with a printed rug in warm gradient hues of red and orange, the design blends functionality with expressive artistry. The dynamic form rests on a stable wooden base reinforced with steel, creating a perfect balance between lightness and strength. Both furniture and sculptural statement, the chair embodies a dialogue between art and design that is at the heart of Frans Willigers’ creative practice. Only 3 pieces of this chair were ever made.
