The Peel Chair by Blond Ltd is a unique piece of furniture design that takes inspiration from nature and modernism. The chair is designed to give the illusion that it is constructed from a single sheet of plywood that has been peeled back and folded into shape. The backrest, legs and seat come together seamlessly to create a continuous line that runs through the side profile of the chair.
One of the reasons for choosing plywood as the primary material for the chair is its cost-effectiveness and sustainability. Plywood is a material that can be sourced and manufactured in a way that significantly reduces wood wastage when compared to traditional lumber practices.
In the early stages of design, a rough prototype was created using CNC-machined MDF layers stacked together. This allowed for a solid understanding of the design proportions and ergonomics of the chair, and helped in refining and finessing the design.
The Peel Chair stands out for its unique design, where the front legs bend back to become the rear legs, and then twist into a second plane of curvature for added comfort and back support. The design is ergonomic and adaptive, making it comfortable and visually striking. The chair can be used in any modern living or working space.
