Comfort or style...

Chairs that are well designed and constructed often become collectors pieces and are timeless, regardless of their era or their style. Such is the case with the Butterfly chair.

While sifting through family photo albums, I came across some vintage photos of interiors designed by my father, Geoffrey Summerhayes in his early architecture days (1950's).

The butterfly chair or BKF, was designed by Jorge Ferrari Hardoy in collaboration with Juan Kurchan and Antonio Bonet of the Austral Group in Buenos Aires, Argentina 1938.

This photo ws published in the Australian House and Garden magazine in the late 50's. It's lovely to think that this iconic chair has been passed from father to daughter and is still used for its beauty and comfort, regardless of the setting or era.

Have a relaxing Sunday.
