Persuading Ply

I have used this contraption resembling a medieval torture device to convince the inserted sheets of plywood to take different shapes. By varying the angle of the clamps I was able to experiment with differing proportion and form for the resulting curves.

Most models get discarded but their story might still continue in other ways.

Here discareded shapes are used to create illustrations. The story of these elements continues to live and evolve although separated from the original path of becoming a chair.
