Stylish and practical, plywood offers huge possibilities for experimental design, and it has been used to make a wide range of products, from aeroplanes, boats and automobiles to architecture and furniture. This book traces the history of plywood from its use in 18th-century furniture, through its emergence as an industrial product in the 19th century, to a material celebrated by 20th-century modernists such as Alvar Aalto and Charles and Ray Eames. An ideal material for the digital age, plywood has become popular again in recent years and is widely used in contemporary design and manufacture. Produced to accompany an exhibition at the V&A, this book is the first comprehensive study of the history of plywood and its myriad applications throughout the ages, unveiling the stories behind objects that surround us and that we often take for granted.00Exhibition: Victoria & Albert Museum, London, United Kingdom (15.07. - 12.11.2017). 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 228-231) and index. 650 0 $a Plywood $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Furniture making $x History $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Building, Wooden $x Design and construction $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Wood in interior decoration $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Wood in art $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Woodwork $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Wood products $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Materials $x Design $v Exhibitions. 650 7 $a Building, Wooden $x Design and construction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00840952 650 7 $a Furniture making. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00936572 650 7 $a Materials $x Design. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011799 650 7 $a Plywood. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01067495 650 7 $a Wood in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01179303 650 7 $a Wood in interior decoration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01179306 650 7 $a Wood products. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01179332 650 7 $a Woodwork. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01179877 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01424028 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Bisley, Elizabeth, $e author. 710 2 $a Victoria and Albert Museum, $e host institution. 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20181010011207.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D33BE9D6CC5111E8987A620997128E48 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
