Butterfly chair

The butterfly chair is a type of lounging chair characterized by a cloth sling supported by a frame made of metal tubing or bars. This design first appeared around 1950.1

Chairs, in general, are seats with backs designed for one person and are among the oldest forms of furniture, with origins tracing back to ancient Egypt around 2650 BCE. Throughout history, chair designs have evolved significantly, from the ancient Greek klismos to the Renaissance scissors chair, and later incorporating elaborate carvings, upholstery, and innovative materials like tubular steel and molded plywood in modern times.2
