About muumuu TRIPOLINA chairs handmade by muumuu design
TRIPOLINA BUTTERFLY CHAIR is the next wave of ‘MUST-HAVE’ iconic furniture pieces for the home (or holiday) for the design savvy.
This chair’s multi-faceted appeal lies in its heritage, supreme comfort, great aesthetic value and the fact that it is a handmade product of natural materials made by individuals with care, not to mention its versatile possibilities with instantly changeable covers to suit any style and being compactable to store if and when necessary – it is a chair to treasure, not a churned out plastic machine made item which will inevitably end up on our evergrowing scrapheap.
The practical form is ideal for todays living – in the home, changeable covers can suit the most demure or outlandish style
In our smaller living spaces, several chairs together on a small balcony will create a friendly hub
Foldable, it can even be carried on a bike or underarm on a plane
