Undulating Vaneer Panel_Transmaterial
| November 28th, 2009
Ply is a wall panel consisting of a solid-wood frame with an undulating birch veneer of 0.4-mm-thick plywood. This new material is so thin that it folds nearly as easily as fabric. Thanks to the wavy surface, the element absorbs sound well. Still in development is a version with built-in lighting and panels thin enough to let light pass through. Panels with an extra backing of sound-absorbing material are another option.
