The collaboration between Studio Hendro Hadinata and EVERY Collections began with EVERY’s exploration of plywood bending techniques at their factory. This joint effort focused on understanding the material more deeply and discovering ways to enhance its application in design while staying true to Indonesian craftsmanship and traditional methods. Together, they realized the potential of plywood bending as a durable and efficient alternative to solid wood.
Plank Chair is a result of this initial collaboration. It features a sleek and lightweight design that is visually striking yet versatile enough to blend with various interior styles. Using plywood bending, the chair incorporates a distinctive negative line between its backrest pillars to reduce stress and increase structural integrity.
The design is inspired by the Warteg wooden facades, commonly found in local eateries across Indonesia. These facades, constructed from numbered wooden planks for easy assembly and disassembly, showcase the practicality and ingenuity of Indonesian design thinking.
Through Plank Chair, Studio Hendro Hadinata and EVERY Collections aim to present a design that embodies the essence of Indonesian culture, bringing its unique identity and craftsmanship to a global audience.
