Hasty Plywood has long been recognized as a key contributor to some of the most innovative furniture designs in the world. Our collaboration with world-renowned architect Frank Gehry exemplifies how our expertise in plywood manufacturing serves as the backbone for groundbreaking creations.
The journey begins in our facility, where premium maple wood is transformed into layered, high-strength strips. Using advanced heat and pressure treatments, we enhance the flexibility and durability of the plywood, creating the foundation for Gehry’s avant-garde designs. These components are then shipped to our trusted partners, like the Marshall Group, for assembly and finishing, completing the artistic vision.
Our contributions to Gehry’s bentwood furniture line, including chairs and tables like the "High Sticking Chair" and "Face Off Table," are a testament to Hasty Plywood’s precision and quality. Every piece we produce undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets the exacting standards of Gehry’s vision. The result? Furniture that is celebrated worldwide, displayed in institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and recognized as modern classics.
Our joint venture approach has been pivotal to the success of this project. By combining our expertise in plywood manufacturing with the finishing prowess of the Marshall Group, we’ve brought Gehry’s innovative sketches to life, pushing the boundaries of what plywood can achieve. This collaboration reflects Hasty Plywood’s commitment to craftsmanship, quality, and innovation, ensuring our role as a trusted partner in the furniture design industry.
As a company steeped in tradition and forward-thinking practices, Hasty Plywood continues to support designers and creators who push the envelope, helping shape the future of furniture design.
