About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
The Sori Yanagi Butterfly Stool, manufactured by Tendo Mokko, is a canonical piece of mid-century modern design. This specific example is rendered in rich palissander wood, showcasing the elegant, sweeping curves that define its iconic silhouette.
Constructed from moulded plywood, the stool features two identical, gently curving shapes joined together by a brass stretcher. The deep brown tones of the palissander wood highlight the natural grain, adding depth and character to the piece. The Tendo Mokko maker's mark is visible on the underside, confirming its authenticity and origin.
The stool is in good condition, retaining its structural integrity and original finish. The wood displays a natural patina consistent with age and use, preserving the character of this classic design.
This Butterfly Stool serves as a striking sculptural element in any interior. It pairs exceptionally well with minimalist, Scandinavian, or mid-century modern decor, functioning equally well as a functional seat or a decorative object.
While the Butterfly Stool is produced under license by Vitra in Europe, this is the original Tendo Mokko edition from Japan. For the discerning collector, the Tendo Mokko version is the definitive edition, celebrated for its superior plywood craftsmanship and its direct lineage to Yanagi’s original vision.
Excellent condition. The wood has a beautiful, warm patina. Structurally perfect. Fully marked with the official Tendo Mokko maker’s stamp (see detailed photos).
