Abstract

The First bentwood chairs in the world, called “winsor chairs” were made by Britishcraftsman in the 17th century. Since then, from the start of NO.14 using solid bentwood by19th-century German Michael Thonet, furniture making techniques such as Bent knee, Y-leg,X-leg- were developed based on Llaminated bentwood made by Alvar Aalto of Finland in the20th century. In the 20th century Charles Eames of the United States studied Molded plywood,using plywood to produce a variety of furniture and during the 17∼20 century a variety ofBentwood were developed. Coming into the 21st century, American Matthias Pliessnig and PhilSeaton worked with past Bentwood designs, developing Bentwood further by adaptingBentwood’s know-how and IT technology. Science and technology evolved and Reholz ofGermany developed technology which can mold three-dimensional wood using a new matarialcalled 3D-veneer, In the past only plastic or metal could be moulded 3 dimensional but nowbeautiful wood grain patterns can be molded by utilizing this technology. Also this is comparablewith the past two-dimensional molding technology. In this Sustainable Design techniausesera, Bentwood fused with IT technology has great potential as a high-tech andeco-friendly techniche.
