The Folded chair – plain plywood chair

Another flat sheet plywood chair concept. I am thinking to do it also in metal sheet – steel or aluminium and may be in fiberglas/corian. The thickness is 18-20mm, material – plywood.
Your chair is easily one of the most elegant forms in plwood I can remember seeing. It’s beautiful in plywood like none other. It really transcends the material. I don’t know how you achieved the strength at the front left and right corners of the seat. It is more as even plywood than I think it would be in metal, though there are textured stainless steels that are pretty cool and might be enough texture on say just the seat panels to give the chair a moore – slightly more – substantive presence than I think a single surface, particularly smooth, would. Avery, very nice piece. almost / maybe timeless, which is hard to accomplish these days. Brave.
