the Tripolina chair (1877), patented by Joseph Beverly Fenby. Nowadays this chair is typically called a butterfly chair in Freak Hansen




















You’ll probably recognize this campaign chair. It’s one of the most copied designs of all time. The BKF Chair (1938) aka The Hardoy chair designed by Grupo Austral (Antoni Bonet, Juan Kurchan, Jorge Ferrari-Hardoy) is modelled after the Tripolina chair (1877), patented by Joseph Beverly Fenby. Nowadays this chair is typically called a butterfly chair.

ILMARI TAPIOVARA IN FREAK HANSEN

Again, for future rooms I COVET this. I love the look of black and wood paired together, and the lines on this piece… drool. It’s almost shaker-esque in look, humble, but something about the curves screams mid-century sophistication. Throw a sheepskin on this and its goodnight nurse!We recently picked up 3 Fanett chairs by Tapiovaara, and I’d love to add to that one day. I actually saw one once at Couleurs, one of my favorite stores in Montreal, and didn’t buy it – oh! such pangs of regret! But then, I would have had nowhere to put it. Though, this is true of most everything on my list.
