Miniature
Butterfly Stool
By Sori Yanagi
| Scale and dimensions | : 1:6, 57 x 69 x 79 mm |
| Material | : Bent Plywood, Brass |
As a student in the 1940s Sori Yanagi accompanied Charlotte Perriand on her trips through Japan, thus becoming familiar with the classical Moderns. It is possible that this is what aroused Yanagi's interest in seating, something which does not exist in Japanese culture. Even today a large number of Japanese households manage without any kind of seats, even in the cities, since it is traditional to sit on the floor on tatami mats.
