The Haiku Stool represents the perfect fusion of Eastern aesthetics and Western modernism. Inspired by Sori Yanagi's iconic Butterfly Stool, this piece captures the essence of post-war Japanese design with its graceful curves and innovative use of bent plywood. Each stool is a testament to simplicity and functionality, featuring premium maple or palisander wood shaped into flowing curves that appear to defy gravity.

Premium Bent Plywood
Masterfully curved maple or palisander wood creates the stool's signature butterfly-like form. The precise bending technique achieves both visual lightness and structural strength.

Brass-Finished Connector
The elegant brass-finished connector not only joins the symmetrical wood pieces but adds a sophisticated accent that complements both wood finish options.

UV-Cured Polyurethane Finish
A protective UV-cured polyurethane coating enhances the natural beauty of the wood while ensuring durability and resistance to daily wear.

Inspired by Sori Yanagi
Created by one of Japan's most celebrated designers, the original Butterfly Stool represents the perfect marriage of Japanese aesthetics and industrial innovation. Its revolutionary design earned it a place in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art.

Inspired By The Yanagi Butterfly

The Butterfly Stool is one of the most influential pieces of post-war Japanese design. With its graceful bent plywood form and innovative brass connector, it has become an enduring symbol of modern Japanese craftsmanship. Created by legendary designer Sori Yanagi, the original is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, representing the perfect fusion of Eastern aesthetics and Western modernism.

Sori Yanagi

Sori Yanagi was a renowned Japanese industrial designer celebrated for his minimalist, functional approach to furniture design.

This Is A Replica

This piece is not manufactured by the brand that currently owns the rights to the designer’s work. We do not claim any rights on any third party trademarks. Instead this is a proud replica of the designer’s work, inspired by the original form and made with premium materials. The best designers of the last century wanted their iconic designs to be accessible to all. But big furniture brands moved in, and artificially drove up prices.

We’re changing that. We’re recreating the best furniture pieces of the 20th century and selling them at fair prices. We’re making great design accessible to all.
