Everything About Plywood Armchairs – Style, Types & Maintenance Tips

Navigating the modern world of interiors, furniture design is no longer only about function, but a reflection of spectacular comfort, style, and sustainability. If there is one type of furniture that encapsulates all three attributes, it is the plywood armchair. No matter where you place it in your reading nook, your living room corner, or your home office, a plywood armchair instantly adds a touch of modern elegance and its own durability.

With continually changing design tastes and small living spaces, the bent plywood armchair has become an incredibly popular choice. Ergonomically curved, lightweight, and sporting a natural wood finish, these armchairs are both practical and visually stunning. But what is involved in constructing these chairs? What type of plywood is best? Read on to learn more about plywood armchairs, and specifically Royale Touche's plywood offering.

What is a Plywood Armchair?

A plywood armchair is made from multiple layers of wood veneer (called ply), glued together with very strong adhesives. In contrast to a traditional solid wood chair, which can be big and bulky, plywood armchairs allow flexibility when designing chairs, especially in bends with elegant curves. The bent plywood armchair would enhance any modern aesthetic home, which may be warm and minimalist at the same time. The true essence of a plywood armchair is the quality of plywood being purchased. This is where Royale Touche plywood comes in and provides notable strength, longevity, and surface finish.

Why a Bent Plywood Armchair?

This bent plywood armchair is special because it is celebrated for its organic-shaped curves and innovative construction. The technique of 'bent lamination' is employed to produce its gently curving forms using thin sheets of plywood with heat and pressure. The artistry of the design is beautiful, and it is also very comfortable for your body. Here are some features that make it well worth considering:

• Artistic Flair

The beautiful, flowing curves of a bent plywood armchair provide artistic value to any space.

• Lightweight Strength

Easily movable and reconfigurable without sacrificing strength.

• Eco-Friendly

Less wood waste in the production process contributes to a smaller carbon footprint. Specially engineered plywood from Royale Touche ensures that these chairs will retain their shape over time without cracking or warping.

Best Types of Plywood for Plywood Armchairs

Royale Touche offers a gathered selection of plywood suited for furniture applications. For plywood armchairs, each type has its unique advantages based on end use, atmospheric conditions, and aesthetic requirements.

Good for Bending: Gurjan Face Plywood

Gurjan Face Plywood, made with selected layers of hardwood, is designed for bent plywood chairs. It flexes easily to form bent plywood-shaped styles with the required durability of a plywood armchair in mind. Additionally, it has a nice outer veneer.

Hardwood Plywood would be ideal for any plywood armchair where you want it to last for decades. It has a reputation for being able to hold large loads, which is ideal for armchairs that would be used frequently each day in homes, cafes, or workplaces.
