Butterfly chairs

It is odd with these items that return into fashion. Like the butterfly chair.

I had one when I was a teenager. It was yellow as far as I can remember. With black legs. Like this one.

Today you again see them everywhere in interior design magazines. Some claim it is comfortable to sit in… I disagree. What I remember it was really uncomfortable and hard to find any relaxed way to sit in. It was always a problem to find a way how to position your legs.

Today’s models often come in leather or hairy skins. Like the ones below. Makes them look more elegant, maybe. But I doubt they get more comfortable just because they no longer are made in galon. But they are expensive today. They were cheap then when I had one. No, I would NOT want one today. But I am fascinated by the fact that they came back in fashion again.

We had one on our campsite on holiday this year – it was very comfortable – easily foldable – but probably a higher back than your top picture – less slouched. more like your last picture but perhaps even more upright than that. It was made of canvas – but I cant find one anywhere ! I want to buy one !

You ought to be able to find them everywhere presently. Just Google it.
