What is “plywood”?Plywood made by stacking thinly sliced wood on a core material, gluing them together, and molding them by applying heat and pressure. Because it is lightweight but strong and can be molded into three-dimensional shapes, it was used in U.S. Navy casts, stretchers, construction materials, and Eames' designed furniture. In Japan, under the guidance of architect Isamu Kenmochi, it was used in various products at Tendo Mokko. At first, it was common to bend a single piece of plywood, but later the structure changed to combining several parts in order to increase strength while reducing distortion and warping.
