The new construction method for wooden furniture
Bachelor project
Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Design Department
May 2014
The main idea of the project was to design innovative construction method that would be possible to use for different kinds of furniture (chair, table, bar stool, etc..). The idea was presented on a chair.
After analysing existing methods and sketching different possible solutions I chose the one that uses no additional materials (no nails, no screws), is as simple as possible and very strong.
Upper parts (made out of bent birch-tree plywood with oak veneer) are connected with legs (oak wood) by placing plywood parts inside the excision in the solid wood parts and gluing them together.
One of the first sketches of the construction method.
