Grande Papilio - Big Armchair

Grande Papilio is an armchair designed by Naoto Fukasawa for B&B Italia. Its internal frame is in tubular steel, the upholstery in bayfit® (Bayer®) flexible cold shaped polyurethane foam. The external cover can be in fabric or leather.

Grande Papilio appears as a single form, a single volume of a single material with a strong personality. The shape of the backrest and thus the name of this elegant armchair are inspired by butterflies. Its design gives a visual idea of a cozy hug and offers ultimate comfort. The armchair is equipped with a system that makes it swivel, allowing a deep contact with the surrounding environment. A zip along the back alllows you to remove the cover.
