First and foremost, Airborne is the story of an iconic chair. A butterfly made of leather and steel. In 1951, the French company starts producing the “Butterfly” chair, created by an Argentinian and a Catalan designer ten years earlier, and renames it the “AA chair”. A tribute to its shape, and to the French Magazine Architecture d’Aujourd’hui, directed by André Bloc, a friend of Airborne’s founder Charles Bernard.
Today the company innovates, and works with young talented designer such as Pierre Guariche or Olivier Mourgue. Between 1951 and 1975, 200 different designs are produced. That’s it for the story.
Made of 4 pieces of smooth 2.5 mm thick leather stiched together - Indoor use only.
