PLYWOOD & CORK

Designed for a home office space, this chair, desk, and shelving series demonstrates the strength and warmth of wood as a material. The structure is built from concentric squares of 1cm colorful plywood from Plywood Laboratory (Hokkaido, Japan), miter cut at a 45° angle at the corner junctions and joined using the Lamello Clamex system. A thick slab of cork creates a comfortable cushion on the seat, arms, and back, and tabletop to work at.

The shelving unit is designed to adapt with the user’s needs. Each of the shelving units is independent from the whole structure, making it possible to move around and change according to the user’s preference and requirements.

WOOD VENEER LAMPSHADE

This wood veneer lampshade highlights the flexibility and warmth of wood as a material. Two pieces of wood veneer are steam-heated to create a curlicue, inspired by wood pencil shavings.

The pieces are then stacked together and assembled on a lamp fixture, and are then able to be used in combination with any lamp base. When lit, the light shines through the thin sheets of veneer, highlighting the wood’s natural grain and warmth.
