Its shape is created from a single sheet of steam-bent teak plywood, folded to achieve a surprisingly light structure from a visual perspective. An essential design that demonstrates how a simple constructive solution can transform into an object with a strong personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design took shape almost by chance during Cadovius' experiments with material bending. The result is \u003cstrong\u003ea shelf that appears suspended on the wall, capable of offering a functional support surface while maintaining a minimal footprint.\u003c\/strong\u003e The silhouette recalls the wings of a butterfly, from which the model's name derives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts compact dimensions make it ideal for holding small objects, books, or a lamp, either alone or in multiple compositions. Teak, with its warm and uniform grain, adds depth to the shape without weighing it down, enhancing the natural character of the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than sixty years after its introduction, the Butterfly continues to find its place in contemporary interiors. \u003cstrong\u003eA design that naturally transcends time and still represents one of the most successful examples of the meeting between technical research, functionality, and Scandinavian design.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTECHNICAL DATA SHEET\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCOUNTRY OF PRODUCTION: Denmark\u003cbr\u003eDESIGNER: Poul Cadovius\u003cbr\u003eMODEL: Butterfly\u003cbr\u003eDESIGN PERIOD: 1958\u003cbr\u003eSTYLE: Scandinavian Design, Mid-Century Modern\u003cbr\u003eMATERIAL: Steam-bent teak plywood, metal\u003cbr\u003eCOLOR: Brown, Black\u003cbr\u003eDIMENSIONS: H 20 cm | W 40 cm | D 17 cm\u003cbr\u003eWEIGHT RANGE: 0–40 Kg\u003cbr\u003eCONDITION: Good vintage condition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"STOV VINTAGE FURNITURE DESIGN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53651740066139,"sku":"722","price":558.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/4444\/9115\/files\/4bcd10e2-a56b-495d-a740-2ffe4ac12a74.jpg?v=1784896095","url":"https:\/\/stovfurniture.com\/en-us\/products\/mensola-butterfly-poul-cadovius-teak","provider":"STOV VINTAGE FURNITURE DESIGN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
