Description

The Yanagi Butterfly Stool is a graceful, sculptural stool created by renowned Japanese designer Sori Yanagi in 1954. It is crafted by connecting two elegantly curved wood segments, shaped using the innovative technique of pressed plywood molding, which allows the wood to take on its fluid, butterfly-like form.

The stool’s design reflects a harmonious blend of Japanese minimalism and modern craftsmanship, inspired by the natural beauty of a butterfly's wings. Made from high-quality wood, it is both lightweight and durable. The Butterfly Stool serves as a functional seat and a piece of artful design, perfect for contemporary and timeless interiors.
