Butterfly Stool – Maple

A pioneer of Japanese industrial design. Sori Yanagi prefers gentle and rounded forms because they radiate human warmth. Featured in the Museum’s collection. the Butterfly Stool makes use of a simple metal connector that harnesses the divergent forces of the two rounded panels by employing the tectonic principles of compression and tension. The use of a traditional veneer-cutting technique ensures that each half of the stool’s surface mirrors the grain of the other half. The result: an elegantly simple. soaring design of molded plywood and brass. Simple assembly required. Weight limit: 330lbs.
