Farfalla in Latin is called Papilio, the graceful movement of butterflies is the design idea of Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa, who designed this armchair for B&B Italia, inside an inverted truncated cone that has become an icon of contemporary design. It gives amplitude to the upper part of the backrest and sinuosity to the seat to give the user maximum comfort. Aesthetics were not the designer's first priority as much as comfort, in fact he himself says "I wanted it to have the same shape as relaxation if it were to be represented by an image". The large wings that collect the head area offer isolation and peace of mind to those seated, and the swivel mechanism built into the base makes it positionable in any area of the house. The pouff completes the extreme simplicity of the seating concept. Papilio is a large family that brings together the Grande and Piccola as armchairs, the Paipilio and Papilio Shel chairs with various types of bases and the Mini Papilio armchair suitable for many uses. Various types and sizes of this exceptional armchair also for outdoor use complete the collection.
