WOODEN CHAIRS AT A GLANCE

The Organic Wood

Depth understanding of the characteristics of material to support the design is very modern. Plywood material technology as the findings of 20th century has become the media potential in the development of modern design.

Plywood that can be made to the curve allows the optimal design is made in accordance with the new modern design.

This innovation allows the wood has been used since the era of primitive can be present in the stage design with modern forms of the new current. In the form of a curved design is generally referred to as organic, because it mimics the forms of (and living) in nature.

Efforts to create a design with the wood furniture was a crook's understanding of the characteristics of wood fiber.

Success with the first design of the solid wood curved achieved Gebruder Thonet of Austria in the year 1885. He successfully created a chair to eat with the framework of a structure created curve.

Thonet also make a breakthrough in the field of modern construction, with a disheveled (knock down) factors to allow more efficient. One square meter box can load 12 units in a chair eating unravel.

Wood fiber that will be heated and flexible yielding. However, the size of the curve on the wane because fiber will be cumulative. Another way, which was then widely used in the plywood industry is the modern process of cooling. This last method makes the wood fiber in a cup does not change size.

Success in the processing of plywood and bend produced in industrial scale achieved Finnish architect Alvar Aalto in the year 1931/1932. He successfully conducted an experiment to create a chair of plywood that bend with a minimum thickness. Kursinya named Paimio or model no.41.

Ergonomis the form of a chair and characteristics of the local community that allows efficient not need additional material such as pengempuk seat cushion.

Achieved further success with Arne Jacobsen chairs Myren (ant) and 3107 series chair designed in 1955 and continued production until now. Jacobsen is a chair seat plywood produced the first modern.

Ideas plywood hold sway Conference next generation of designers like Eero Saarinen and Sori Yanagi to produce new forms.

In the form of a curved form of the normal foam with salut, replaced by Philipe Starck with plywood curve looks like in his work, Costes (1982), which use pelapis mahogany.

Minimalist

Modern design and want the efficiency of the material. Design of plywood chair beside allows efficient use of materials and the use of curved forms, it is also possible the achievement of ergonomis. In addition, of course, the creative design can also make them appear in the form of a contemporary.

As chair of Nana Ditzel Trinidad. This inspired the form of a chair palm leaves, which then adopted into the seat holder and the rest of the plywood punch, such as the space between the palm leaves.

Postmodern design can also use plywood material, as shown through his work Robert Venturi, Queen Anne, who took seats from siluet classic. Although the use appears to rousing linear decoration and flowers, only the chair of plywood that bend.

The minimal use of the form to create a minimalist space more freely. Holder or the only form plywood sheet with thickness 9 millimeter surely will be saving the use of materials. In terms of preservation of the environment, the plywood is superior compared with the plastic material will not contaminate the environment.

Prospect Indonesia

Indonesian a giant plywood producers can develop excess plywood to this in the form of a design that is not less than the design from the outside while trying to save tropical forests.

Furniture manufacturers as the country has developed a design approach sparingly with the raw materials that can be done with the media plywood arch.

Although able to produce a contemporary form of design, technology, the process of making plywood arch this indeed serumit or not as it seems. Simply press and printing machinery from the timber, make plywood arch can be made.

Other materials commonly used as a combination with plywood Tubular steel arch is berdiameter small part on the structure and feet. Merging plywood with curved iron materials are possible with the various forms of materials and efficient design is not less interesting.

Designers and architects design school graduates in the country has been able to make the design of plywood chair that curved line of organic produce and a beautiful lyric.
