About the Item
Rare Sori Yanagi 3-Level Oversized Wood Puzzle Sculpture
This striking oversized wood puzzle sculpture was created by renowned Japanese designer Sori Yanagi, celebrated worldwide for his iconic Butterfly and Elephant stools. Part of a limited series of puzzle sculptures, this work is highly collectible and rarely seen on the market.
The son of Soetsu Yanagi, founder of the Japanese Folk Crafts Museum, Sori Yanagi studied both art and architecture before emerging as a pioneer of Japanese postwar industrial design. Early in his career, he worked in the atelier of Charlotte Perriand (1940–1942) and later founded the Yanagi Industrial Design Institute in 1952. His body of work, blending tradition with modernity, has made him one of the most influential Japanese designers of the 20th century.
Yanagi passed away in 2011, leaving behind a legacy of timeless and highly sought-after designs. This puzzle sculpture exemplifies his rare explorations beyond furniture design—functional, playful, and sculptural at once.
