Molded PlyWood
Attributes

A seat and back formed from a single piece of molded plywood.

Plywood is an engineered material made by bonding thin layers (plies) of wood veneer. This laminated structure gives plywood strength, flexibility, and dimensional stability, allowing it to be molded into smooth, curved shapes without cracking or warping.

Curvature

Can be bent or curved in multiple directions, creating compound surfaces.

Design

Even the most, complex, ambitious design visions are possible.

Choice

Choose from a wide selection of A-surface veneers and laminates.

Cross-laminated structure provides strength, stability, and flexibility.

Strength

Flame Resistence

Can be designed to meet requirements for flame resistance.

Finishing

Staining, varnishing, or high-quality natural oils create stylish and protective surface.

Sustainably harvested
