Butterfly Stool design by Japanese designer Sori Yanagi is not a traditionalist in the furniture design world. The Butterfly stool shown here is a prime example of the way that this mid twentieth century icon continually changed the potentially mundane lines of an essential piece of home decor into ethereal, sculptural beauty.

 

Yanagi chose a molded plywood technique pioneered by American designers Charles and Ray Eames to create the sweeping butterfly silhouette, delivering a graceful, elegant stool. Despite its relatively small size, the contemporary, flowing piece has the power to captivate and produce a reaction from even the most stoic guests. The beautiful MoreDesign reproduction Butterfly stool’s premium design is covered in genuine, natural timber veneer.
