Abstract
|
|
|
|
| Plywood itself reflects the modern, industrial design philosophy. Operating with plywood means constructing in a twofold sense, handling the structure on a micro and macro level. is a highly structured material with selected components that undergo geometrically precise and mechanically deter mined alignments. The assembling of the individual unit is laid out in the essence of the term construction (con-struct) and which requires an inner order precisely determined by the conditions of coming together and being together-it has been transformed in plywood into an immanent and autonomous logic of the industrial manufacturing process. The role of the structurally-conditioned creation of form is diminished because the construct of the parts has become the material itself and sets only a few conditions. In the extended and specific design and manufacturing process of furniture construction, the material itself does not create a form – it receives it. The idea and specification of a real function is thus transferred into the malleable material. The form here becomes the direct imprint of the idea. |
