The Butterfly Stool combines Eastern design forms with Western craftsmanship techniques. Its molded plywood construction provides durability and visual appeal, while the distinctive butterfly silhouette adds sculptural character to any space. The maple finish offers natural wood grain beauty with lasting quality.
Japanese designer Sori Yanagi’s work marries Western styles with Japanese tradition, and his 1954 Butterfly stool, produced by Vitra, is a case in point. The piece draws on Eastern forms, while it is made using Charles and Ray Eames’ plywood moulding technique.
