Tendo Japan, 1956 rosewood plywood, brass 17 w x 12 d x 15 h in (43 x 30 x 38 cm)
Sori Yanagi's Butterfly stool combines the disparate traditions of Eastern philosophy and aesthetics with Western modernism.
The stool echoes less of the traditional aspects of Japanese furniture, and instead appears indebted to the kimono.
