Exclusively for STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN, Collection X is a study in structural purity and material integrity, where the butterfly joint—a defining feature of midcentury craftsmanship—is reimagined on a monumental scale. Traditionally a discreet structural element, here it becomes the central visual and functional motif. Rooted in the legacy of modernist craftsmanship, the collection reinterprets dovetail joinery with a Neo-Brutalist sensibility, emphasizing both precision and expressive force
Engaging in a dialogue with the legacy of George Nakashima and Sori Yanagi, Collection X honors the history of the butterfly joint while extending its possibilities, asserting its own contemporary language through a heightened sense of balance and suspension. The interplay of geometric planes and elegantly curved lines creates a dynamic tension, evoking both stability and movement. Architectural in its logic and inventive in its execution, the the series is both rigorous and playful, monumental yet brimming with levity
Handcrafted in France, Collection X is an investigation of the poetic potential of joinery—where craftsmanship is not merely a technical feat but a means of articulating form, space, and material in its purest state
