Exhibition furniture for Liminganlahti Visitor Centre’s exhibition
The exhibition furniture are plywood constructions for the exhibition ‘The eight seasons of a bird´s year’ at the Liminka Bay Visitor Center. The exhibition design was made by architectural office EST for Finnish Metsähallitus. The furnitures was designed and developed by Toni Österlund in collaboration with architectural office EST.
The furniture are CNC-milled 24mm lacquered plywood. The individual milled plywood pieces fit together by the corresponding notches on the horizontal and vertical pieces, making it an interlacing structure. The structure and element joining techniques are innovative constructions developed just for this purpose.
The furniture forms were designed using T-Splines and the structure was made using Grasshopper, both design plugins for Rhino3D. All the joints and individual plywood pieces were generated using custom made algorithms and the resulting 3D model holds all the information needed for CNC-milling.
