Leveillä
A Venture into the timeless craft of bent plywood. Leveillä means to show off or brag. This table is designed for the user to be able to display his/her own choice of objects underneath the glass. With two drawers underneath this table can easily be transformed into a store counter with room to display jewellery and room for a cash drawer.
Leveillä is made from six laminated sheets of 2.7mm thick plywood. Cold pressed in the same mould Alpha stool is made from, this is another experiment into the tradition of bending plywood. All planar surfaces are made from the same Waci Waci ply with the legs hand turned from Pine. The Contrast of the traditional bent ply with the modern sleek legs creates an interesting and unique design with the main body seemingly floating where it rests.
Leveillä has been 3 months of Research and Development for Victoria University’s Furniture paper SARC 312. With the outcome a fully working prototype. Many thanks to Graeme and the workshop team for their hours of help and hard work.
