Stack-Laminate Plywood Furniture

http://3rings.designerpages.com/2008/12/06/live-at-design-miami-julia-krantzs-stack-laminate-plywood-furniture/





The images of furniture seen here are the works of Brazilian artist/designer Julia Krantz. To make the forms, Krantz laminates sheets of plywood to create a block of wood. Much like a sculptor chipping away at a slab of marble, she carve out layers of the wood to create curvilinear forms. She then sands and polishes the wood to create the smooth flowing forms. This is very similar to what we did with our milling project, minus the use of high tech tools like the CNC machine. I would be pleased if my project could have the same visual quality as this.
