Archival Studies explores plywood construction with Chair 02
Showcased as part of our Dezeen x The Mindcraft Project 2021 collaboration, Chair 02 shows young Danish studio Archival Studies taking an architectural approach to furniture design.
Archival Studies approached the design of Chair 02 as a project to structurally organise a space ? in this case, the human body ? and the studio hopes to eventually use the same system on an architectural scale.

The screw-free chair is entirely made of 12-millimetre pine plywood cut on CNC machines and laminated together into three layers, creating joints along the way.
It is part of the studio's ongoing series called Furniture Studies, all based on the same material. Chair 02 is part of Furniture Studies, a series made of the same standard pine plywood. Photo by Anders Sune Berg
"We also developed our studio structure in the same system with larger profiles to meet the interior scale, as well as a house structure that has much more substantial framing elements," said Archival Studies co-founder Jo Qiang.
"This study is aiming to test the system's performance on different scale environments and use. The interest in using cost-effective materials and the focus on craft also informed our design language to be pragmatic as one of our main guidelines as a design studio."
