Molded plywood
Molded plywood is the term for two- or three-dimensionally shaped products from multiple veneer layers that are glued together through heat and pressure in a pressing tool. The veneer layers are arranged crosswise at an angle of 90 degrees. Molded wood is used for flat furniture components such as seats, backrests and seat shells. When the veneer layers are arranged in the same direction, it is called laminated wood. It is used for armrests and chair frames. After pressing, the blanks are processed mechanically. A particular feature is the ability to produce different variations of shapes from the blanks. Due to its immense strength and low weight, molded wood is particularly suitable for interior decoration, seating furniture, bed slats, skateboards and vehicle construction.
==The history of molded wood==
It was an American named Isaac Cole who first took out a patent for the process of the production of molded wood in 1874. He designed a chair made of glue-laminated wooden strips.
However, in 1830 the famous furniture designer Michael Thonet had already begun to experiment with the gluing of veneer layers. He only managed to produce two-dimensional deformations though. He stopped these experiments and developed the bentwood process to produce three-dimensional molded wood components made of solid wood. With the model S43, the company "Gebrüder Thonet" launched the first cantilever chair in 1931. To make the chair very comfortable without padding and to give it a light appearance, designer Mart Stam used three-dimensionally shaped plywood parts for its seat and back. The Finn Alvar Aalto was the first to deliberately implement the natural spring effect of the material when he created his model "Piamio" in the 1930s. Marcel Breuer created the Long Chair in 1935-1936 (see image). Five years later, the architects and designers Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen won a furniture design competition in New York with a three-dimensionally shaped shell. After that, Charles Eames and his wife Ray developed the spectacular plywood furniture collection for the company Herman Miller (USA). In Europe, Arne Jacobsen presented a chair with the unusual name "Ant (chair)" in 1952 that should later become a great success. Seat and back are self-supporting and connected by a narrow waist. These million-selling classics are still in production today.
