Illustrate and design a custom Butterfly Chair sling seat cover! The original Butterfly Chair was designed in Argentina in 1938 by architects working in Le Corbusier's studio. Its curved frame forms a shape like butterfly wings. The cover was originally handmade in leather by a saddle maker. Your Butterfly seat cover will be made from upholstery grade canvas fabric and printed with your illustrated image or narrative pattern design. Class projects will require research, brand analysis and the final creation of original stylized artwork for application to a line-up of products including the iconic Butterfly Chair cover, a tote and an iPad cover.
