Sori Yanagi

Sori Yanagi was a Japanese designer and sculptor whose practice bridged industrial design and fine art in the postwar period. Working primarily in metal and wood, he created functional objects and architectural installations informed by both modernist principles and Japanese craft traditions. His work ranged from tableware and furniture to large-scale public commissions, establishing a model for design practice that treated utility and aesthetic rigor as inseparable.
