Butterfly Stool

Two identical pieces of plywood are fixed with metal screws and copper bars on a link, thereby resulting in a symmetrical shape. This creates a stable structure that not only maintains lightness but can also support heavy loads. The Butterfly Stool breaks with practices in previous wood structure systems that had developed from solid wood furniture. Its simple but effective combination of two pieces of plywood makes the whole stool look clear and modern.
