Beech Plywood
In the tradition of Scandinavian bent plywood furniture, these chairs are simple in form, light, compact and functional. Each chair is constructed from a single sheet of seven-layer plywood. Their basic conical shape makes them easy to stack and they can be joined with a clip at the base to form straight or curved rows.
