What is Canadian Design?

Designed as a collaboration between Florence Huynh, Leo Saltzman-Weniger, Hayden Droog and Graham Willette, B O W seeks to answer. 

Honest in its use of materials. Unobtrusive in form.

Held together without screws, glue or bolts, the tension from a series of cables keep the chair from falling apart and create a unique design feature. B O W strives for elegant functionality, rather than competing for attention. 

This was an eight week long project that resulted in three full scale, working prototypes of B O W, a bent plywood chair that is defined by Canadian design. 

Coming Together

Once the forms were pressed, the top and bottom halves were cut out to shape. There was no turning back now.
