After presenting its design at Melbourne Design Week, Vintola Studio is set to present the Butter Chair at the 2026 3daysofdesign. Decorated with long fringes and hand-tufted wool, the piece adds a sense of familiarity and warmth to the surroundings. The lounge chair isn’t just a furniture piece but a whole attention-seeking haute couture performance on its own.
Long, dramatic wool fringes cascade down the frame, introducing literal motion to a static object. The hanging textile strands sway and dance gently in response to room breezes or nearby footsteps. Its flowing yarn mimics the organic melting properties of butter, reinforcing the collection’s core theme. This lively movement gives the furniture an almost lifelike, theatrical personality within an interior space.
Designer Ola Szewczul meticulously creates each unique piece locally within the Vintola Studio workshop. The chair relies on precision hand-tufting techniques that require hours of skilled, labor-intensive textile work. The fabric is seamlessly molded over a sturdy, custom-engineered frame to maintain its geometric integrity. Its production focuses on limited-edition, slow-design principles rather than mass-market industrial manufacturing.
The primary upholstery has high-quality pure wool, offering exceptional warmth and softness. The tufted construction creates a dense, multi-layered pile that invites touch and shifts under light. The smooth, tightly looped body fabric contrasts beautifully against the loose, flowing structure of the trims. Its thick, padded exterior yields a cozy, inviting, and physically comforting seating experience.

The Butter chair features a striking, saturated butter yellow and lime green color palette that instantly commands attention. It blurs the line between functional furniture and fine art, showcasing bold, expressive mid-century modern shapes.
The design embodies a whimsical personality inspired by the fluid concepts of the “Butter Limone” collection. It stands as a confident fashion-forward statement, resembling a wearable costume layer for a contemporary room.
