The cloud like comfort of the Mariposa chair

Originally inspired by the classic Argentinian design, Swedish entrepreneur Lars Kjerstadius went on to dedicate 10 years of his life to perfect the fusion of the whimsical butterfly design and the comfort of a cloud for the Mariposa chair.

The Mariposa chair was brought to life by Cuero Design. The iconic Icelandic Shorn Grey Mariposa Chair is breathtaking in appearance and even more exquisite to sit in.

Its captivating colour makes the Icelandic Shorn Grey option an incredibly rare product to own. Only one in every hundred sheep are born with the natural grey colour in Iceland. Each and every chair is also different from one another because of the natural variations of grey patterns on the sheepskin. The exclusive chair is now available to the Australian market with Cube + Circle as the nation’s sole distributor. They work closely with Cuero Design to bring the chair’s luxurious style and comfort to the other side of the globe. Each chair is made in Sweden with fine craftsmanship and great precision.

Cube + Circle values promoting companies that have a strong respect for the environment and a true love for fine craftsmanship. Cuero Design is no exception to that philosophy as all their products are manufactured to achieve a high standard of quality. They create furniture that is timeless in design and strong in nature so that the beloved Mariposa Chair can be passed down from generation to generation.

The famous chair is also available through Cube + Circle in a variety of other colours and materials. In addition to the rare natural shorn grey, the cozy Icelandic sheepskin is also obtainable in shorn black, shorn brown or shorn white. Its fluffy sibling is available in multiple colours: wild black, wild copper, and wild white. The Mariposa chair can also be fitted with a beautiful Italian leather with colours ranging from a strong black to a soft tan.

Be caressed in a sea of comfort in the Mariposa Chair by Cuero Design. Both sheepskin and leather options are now available in multiple colours at the Cube + Circle showroom. Their newly opened showroom is located in Sydney at the Waterloo Design Centre and is operating Monday to Friday 10 am to 5 pm, and Saturday 10 am to 3 pm, and reachable at 02 7900 9431 and sales@cubencircle.com.au
