The Papilio Shell chair was designed by Naoto Fukasawa for B&B Italia in 2015. The name and shape are inspired by a butterfly (whose Latin name is, in fact, “papilio”): inspired by the lightness of their flight and the shape of their multicoloured wings, Fukasawa created a shell that is welcoming, comfortable and ergonomic. The shell of the chair is available in two versions: in polypropylene or padded with cold-flexible polyurethane foam and then upholstered. In the latter case, you can choose from a wide range of fabrics and leathers, while the back of the seat can be in black, greige or white. The legs of the chair are made of polished chrome-plated or painted steel profiles, making the chair modern and essential, or in solid oak wood, for a more elegant and refined look. The Papilio Shell chair is also available with a trestle base, with or without castors, so that it is also perfect for use in the office: once again, with the change of just one detail, this chair acquires a new identity, demonstrating its great versatility.

Authorities in our business will tell in no uncertain terms that Lorem Ipsum is that huge, huge no no to forswear forever. Not so fast, I'd say, there are some redeeming factors in favor of greeking text, as its use is merely the symptom of a worse problem to take into consideration.
Anyway, you still use Lorem Ipsum and rightly so, as it will always have a place in the web workers toolbox, as things happen, not always the way you like it, not always in the preferred order.
