German designer Stefan Diez launched Houdini, a plywood chair for German brand e15 in Milan last month.

The HOUDINI Chairs are made using a technique borrowed from model aeroplanes, with the plywood shell glued to a solid frame. No nails or screws are used to hold the chairs together rather the 2D slabs are glued to the base to stay in position, producing the shape of the chairs.

Inspired by a technique used in aeroplane model making, two-dimensional plywood slabs are stretched by hand around a complexly milled solid wood ring to form the back and another to form part of the seat.
