About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
A true icon of mid-century modern Japanese design, this "Butterfly" stool is a functional work of art, designed by the legendary Sori Yanagi in 1954. It embodies the perfect harmony between the clean aesthetics of the East and the Western technique of molded plywood.
Its sculptural, almost organic form is achieved by two pieces of bent plywood that meet at their center to create an elegant and inviting seat. The two elements are secured by discreet brass hardware and a steel crossbar, adding a touch of industrial contrast to the warmth of the wood.
Why this piece is essential:
• Heritage Design: A prestigious reissue of a design exhibited in the world's greatest museums.
• Sculptural Finish: A high-quality piece crafted from walnut veneer, revealing a beautiful and uniform grain.
• Versatility: Much more than just a stool, it can serve as a sophisticated extra seat, a distinctively designed side table in a living room, or simply a sculptural object to admire. Its compact size makes it easy to integrate into any interior, whether it's an entryway, living room, or bedroom.
