Plywood Mystery Chair

Plywood Mystery Chair
One of my twitter contacts likes to know more about this plywood mystery chair. Anybody?

Update:
On our FaceBook page we got this comment:

at a first glance it appears to be another material, perhaps vacuummolded plastic and then veneered on the surface. (because of the doublecurve) But it could perhaps be a designschool experiment of testing limits of curving plywood. What does the backrests centerline look like in a closeup examination? The combination with that type of legs suggests some kind of danish origin (or maybe, maybe could be japanese)

JFK any thoughts or better photos?

Flip the chairs on their sides and piece them together like a puzzle to create a console table. Read more at Design Milk

Graphene Paper Suitable for Chairs?

Last year, we published an article about the invention of super-thin graphene paper that is 10 times stronger than steel and a mere one atom in thickness. Now the two professors behind the groundbreaking research have not only received Nobel Prizes for their work, but also knighthoods in the UK’s New Year Honour’s List.

Just Curious when we will see the first Graphene Chair
