Grande Papilio by B&B Italia

With its seamless and fluid design, the Grande Papilio chair evokes simplicity and comfort. When designing it, Naoto Fukasawa’s intention was to create a chair that obviously looked comfortable.



Showcased on Nowness, James Mollison’s photographs of the Grande Papilio chair capture the design and fabrication process at the B&B Italia factory - from mini-prototype to life-size metal frame to finished product. Take a look!
