Hi Apartment Therapy, You recently featured a plywood Parisian loft from LoftLife — one of the pictures shows a pair of chairs that remind me of Jorge Ferrari-Hardoy's Butterfly chair with the exception that the base is made of wood and a little differently constructed (plus the seat material seems to be softer and has holes in it). Could any of the excellent Apartment Therapy readers identify this chair? Have been trying to find something on the web, but so far nothing even closely similar. Thanks for the help, Katrin

I want to know too.... please??

Considering it's a Paris loft, they could be custom-made. Parisians have a really rich pool of furniture possibilities, and I have friends who have had couches and chairs made. Otherwise I don't recognize them as being from any of the usual stores.

Not certain, but it looks like the work of Carlo Mollino.

They look like folding beach chairs, although more chic. I'll be they're vintage and from the flea market.
