Molding plywood

成形合板は工業的な合理性の観点から、時として金属に置き換えられてしまう。ただ、成形合板により得られる木の曲面の陰影や特徴的な端面は唯一無二である。成形合板の曲面を垂直に立てることで、強度だけでなく、そうした成形合板らしさをより強調できるのではないかと考えた。

しかし、四角い板を成形してから切り出すと捨てる部分が多くなる。

​そこで、あらかじめH型ないしはh型に切り抜いた曲げベニヤを積層して成形することを試みた。

​Molded plywoods are often replaced by metals in terms of strength. However, molded plywoods have some characteristic features such as shades on wooden curves and lines on plywood cross sections. I focused on these features of molded plywoods and emphasized them by making furniture with their curves being horizontal.

To save flexible plywoods, which are materials of molded plywoods, I cut them into h or H shapes before molding. If the flexible plywoods had been square, I would have made a lot of them unnecessary.
