ID Firm Layer Develops Corrugated Plywood: Strong, Lightweight

This Ripple table is by British industrial design and engineering firm Layer.

Its construction was made possible by a production innovation:

Ripple uses an innovative and sustainable new process for corrugating plywood to deliver an ultra-lightweight product with minimal environmental impact.

Easily maneuverable by a single person, the table responds to the dynamic living trends shaping the future.

LAYER designed Ripple as part of an internal studio research project into lightweight constructions. The impressive strength to weight ratio is enabled by an innovative production process of corrugating plywood for furniture through pressure lamination, which was developed by LAYER in collaboration with Canadian manufacturer Corelam.

We used innovative 3mm corrugated plywood to deliver a huge strength-to-weight ratio for impressive usability and sustainability stats.
