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.
Rather than drawing on Japanese furniture traditions, the stool's form suggests a reductive interpretation of a Japanese kimono.
