Plied Rocker
Simon Ancher
2005
Plywood
800(h) x 1920(w) x 910(d) mm
The Plied Rocker is a chaise-lounge for relaxation and thought. Ancher’s purpose in this piece was to add a sense of volume to a sheet material such as plywood. The construction technique uses halving joints and takes advantage of the inherent structural nature of plywood (strength from laminations). At the same time it makes a feature of the laminations in a decorative sense. The Plied Rocker has the capacity to be flat-packed.
