【Design Committee Selection Comment】
A masterpiece designed by Sori Yanagi that has already etched its name in the history of stools. Relying on his tactile intuition, Yanagi skillfully extracted the beautiful form born from "folding" and "bending"—possibilities unique to molded plywood. Using only two boards and fasteners, he created a shape reminiscent of fluttering butterflies.
