Like the butterfly that inspired its design, the new Papyon collection by Arnd Küchel is a delightful union of beauty, grace and pleasure. Papyon is constructed from two distinct patterns, with layers of Dedon fiber arranged in intricate interstitial weaves. The overall effect mimics that of the thousands of microscopic scales found on butterfly wings. A large curved base grounds the Papyon wing chair both visually and structurally, while the tapering silhouette expresses a butterfly’s sheer beauty and metaphorical power. Like the wing chair, the Papyon footstool balances functionality and design in a form that is equally suited to indoors and out.
