Butterfly Stool by Sori Yanagi - Palisander
$656.00
A classic and modern designer chair by Sōri Yanagi (柳宗理, Yanagi Sōri, 1915–2011) is one of the most recognized Japanese designer in the world. As the name suggests, the seat surface rises smoothly on both ends, resembling a butterfly spreading its wings, and is very elegant. In addition, it is sometimes said to be an Asian expression, reminiscent of the torii of a shrine. The simple structure, consisting of two boards joined symmetrically, is a "shape" that was naturally created by Sori Yanagi's "hands" while playing with the materials.
he stool is made from two curving and inverted L-shaped rosewood sections, each forming one leg and half of the seat. A metal rod midway between the legs serves as a stretcher and holds the stool together.
