Icon of Japanese Design: "Butterfly" Stool by Sori Yanagi in Walnut

A true symbol of Japanese mid-century modern 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 moulded plywood. Its sculptural, almost organic shape is achieved by two pieces of bent plywood that meet at their centre to form an elegant and welcoming 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 in walnut veneer, revealing a beautiful and uniform grain. • Versatility: Much more than just a stool, it can serve as a sophisticated extra seat, a distinctive 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 be an entrance, living room, or bedroom. Condition of the piece: The stool is in new condition, coming from a prestigious contemporary editing workshop. No scratches, defects, or visible signs of wear. The structure is solid and stable.
