The pieces are constructed of birch plywood, both for its sustainable sources as well its elasticity and high tensile strength. The flexibility and sprung reaction of the plywood supports the user's natural balance and fulfills the body’s need for movement. The collection explores the potential of motion-based seating in two ways. The first is a family of stools that allows for tilting and twisting the body. The second is a woven plywood structure that adapts to the body’s weight and form, reshaping itself according to its user. Although each piece feels bespoke, MOWO has been designed for mass production.
