SAT Folio and Product

InPlyed is made from plywood which is a strong material that can be used to make different shapes and forms. It showcases the characteristics of ply and utilises the laminations as a design feature throughout my project. The product designed to fit within a space in my home. The legs are inspired by materials in my home and provide ventilation for a small fridge. The InPlyed bench is used to host friends and give them a place to socialise without having to go out of the house. It’s bench height allows end users to pull up a stool, sit and gather with friends. My product uses the plywood as a design feature with the top pattern being shaped so the plywood is on its sides where it can show off the different layers of plywood but also some pieces placed flat so it can also show off the design on the top. Using plywood allowed me to create different patterns which allowed for different design features. The inspiration behind this product was to create a spot for my Dad where he can socialise with friends while being able to watch the footy from a spot that is comfortable and accessible for people to have a snack and a drink.
