Butterfly Stool by Sori Yanagi for Vitra. 
 
The iconic Butterfly Stool by Japanese designer Sori Yanagi is a classic piece of furniture that combines Eastern forms with the plywood moulding technique developed by Charles and Ray Eames. The gently curving silhouette of the twin seat shells is reminiscent of a butterfly's wings – eternally poised for flight.
 
Executed in maple or rosewood.
 
Sori Yanagi’s organic forms combine industrial designs with Japanese artisanal traditions. This successful synthesis made Yanagi one of the most significant Japanese designers of the post-war era. In addition to furniture, he also designed lighting, glass objects, cutlery, metro stations, cars and more.
