UF Spread My Wings Stool
Description
Creative Spark:
Meet the UF Spread My Wings Stool—a poetic piece inspired by motion, balance, and grace. Just like the constellation Orion, this design captures the spirit of something always ready to move, rise, and explore. From certain angles, it’s a butterfly about to take flight; from others, it’s like a whale diving freely through the sea. Either way, this black stool adds quiet drama and elegance to any space.
Material Finesse:
Crafted using precision bentwood techniques, the stool’s two mirrored L-shapes flow into one another with seamless curves. The smooth, sloping seat—made from high-quality hardwood—offers surprising comfort, while a stainless steel rod beneath adds solid structural support. Whether styled as a wooden stool by your entryway or next to your reading nook, it’s functional sculpture at its finest.
Character Alignment:
This piece plays well anywhere: a sculptural accent in your living room, a minimalist garden stool on a patio, or even a thoughtful bedside table. Its simplicity lets it blend in, but its form ensures it always stands out. Lightweight, durable, and beautifully made—this is design with wings. And yes, it looks even better in person.

Sori Yanagi
Designer
Sori Yanagi was one of Japan’s most influential industrial designers, celebrated for blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with modernist principles. Born in 1915, he studied both art and architecture, and his work reflects a deep respect for craftsmanship, simplicity, and organic form.
Among his most iconic creations is the Butterfly Stool, designed in 1954. This elegant piece features two symmetrically curved plywood shells, joined with a subtle brass rod at the center—evoking the delicate wings of a butterfly in mid-flight. It’s a perfect example of East-meets-West: the stool combines Japanese minimalism with the molded plywood techniques pioneered by Charles and Ray Eames.
Now part of MoMA’s permanent collection, the Butterfly Stool is more than just seating—it’s a sculptural statement of timeless beauty and quiet innovation.

Crafted for Strength. Designed for Grace.
The UF Orion Spread My Wings Stool is expertly crafted with two curved solid wood pieces, joined at the center for a sturdy, stable design. Using unique bentwood techniques, the stool achieves a graceful, butterfly-like shape that’s both elegant and dynamic. Its compact form makes it perfect as a side table next to your sofa, offering both style and practicality without taking up precious space.

Wide Seat. Smooth Edges. Maximum Comfort.
The UF Orion Spread My Wings Stool features a wide, supportive seat that cradles your body with its smooth, flowing curves, offering a truly comfortable sitting experience. The entire stool is designed with rounded edges, reducing the risk of accidental bumps and ensuring safety for you and your family. It’s a perfect blend of elegance and practicality, providing comfort and protection in any room.

Hidden Strength. Sleek Design.
To maintain the stool's pure, flowing lines, the UF Orion Spread My Wings Stool features a hidden metal frame beneath the seat. Securely fastened with stainless steel rods and screws, this design enhances the stool’s strength and durability without compromising its elegant aesthetic. The result is a sturdy, reliable piece that blends seamless design with robust support.
