Minimalist Houdini Chair Design by Stefan Diez
Made from 4mm thin oak-veneered plywood, the designer Stefan Diez created the minimalist Houdini Chair design using an unordinary production methodology. Manufactured by?e15, the chair is a new silhouette of wooden furniture where the chairs’ back and seat run bent curves around the base forming a seat shell. The seating collection consists of two forms: a side chair and a chair with armrest.?Inspired by a technique used in aeroplane model making, two-dimensional plywood slabs are stretched by hand around a complexly milled solid wood ring to form the back and another to form part of the seat. No nails or screws are used to hold the chairs together rather the 2D slabs are glued to the base to stay in position, producing the shape of the chairs. Via
