A Masterpiece of Japanese Modern Design

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.

Materials

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.

Design

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.

Versatile Functionality
This piece transcends traditional furniture categories, serving beautifully as:

• A distinctive side table
• A comfortable footstool
• A practical magazine rack
• An artistic accent piece

Questions About The Haiku Stool

How long until I receive my order?

The Haiku Stool arrives approximately 3 - 4 Weeks from the day of order.

Our products take longer to arrive than most others on the internet. But there's a good reason why. Most of our pieces are made to order and ship directly from the source. We don’t keep warehouses or carry excess inventory. This is how we cut costs and pass thousands in savings back to you. But it also means you have to wait a bit longer.

What is your return policy

The Haiku Stool can be returned after receiving the order only if the product is damaged or unusable.

Our products are made to order. So we cannot offer returns for changes in preference. But we always do what we can to make it right.

To be returned, products need to be completely unused and still in their original packaging.

How can I track my order?

The Haiku Stool ships within 7 Days of order placement.

Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email with tracking details, allowing you to monitor its progress. Simply use the provided tracking information on our delivery partner’s website to stay updated on your shipment.

Judge us by our looks

Our packaging is safe, simple, and proudly no frills. We don't think it makes sense to pay for things you throw away immediately.

That's why the Haiku Stool ships in the same protective packaging the manufacturer uses, covered in functional stickers and foreign stamps showing the journey it's been on.

We don't hide it and wear it as a badge of honor for the places our products have been and the people who made them.
