This work includes an illustrated history of plywood (tracing its origins in ancient Egypt), an annotated journal of the making of a piece of bent plywood, from the forest to the showroom, and a visual compendium of plywood furniture designs.
The first book devoted to plywood in modern design. The book consists of several parts: the first, an illustrated history of plywood (tracing its origins in ancient Egypt); the second is an annotated journal of the making of a piece of bent plywood, from the forest to the showroom and a visual compendium of plywood furniture designs. Bent Ply contains many illustrations of the classics of bent ply design, including furniture from Alvar Aalto and Charles and Ray Eames, who developed the first molded plywood, plywood bent in two directions.
