Sneak Peek: "Sunday Morning" by Ryan Frank
by Collin Dunn, Corvallis, OR, USA on 09.11.06
100% Design, the contemporary interior design exhibition in London, isn't for a couple weeks yet (September 21-24) but we got a hot tip about a new design making its debut at the show from designer Ryan Frank (we've mentioned his work before) to pass along. The "Sunday Morning" chair, accompanied by the "Wednesday Evening" stool, will be on display at the show for the first time. Made entirely from birch plywood and is designed for disassembly, the chair is cut from a single sheet of ply, sourced from sustainably managed forests, and assembled without the use of any adhesives. A small number of steel screw components are used to secure the chairs overall construction. The curved lower platform offers a storage space for magazines, books, soft furnishings and also allows for a gentle rocking motion. See the real deal later this month at 100% Design. ::Ryan Frank

Nice design and concept--probable design flaws include no armrests and back not high enough to support head and neck.
Just a quandary: if there is no adhesive, how is the plywood created?
