We believe a beautiful object is one that does more with less. Pelt employs a sophisticated construction method to minimise material usage, and a pragmatic form that inspires flexible living. The thin 8mm plywood shell wraps around a solid ash frame akin to the skin over an animal’s skeleton. This “skin” extends down the front and rear legs with a tab that seamlessly integrates with the solid frame beneath.
Through a detailed iterative process that involved the in-house production of dozens of models and prototypes, the LAYER team developed an innovative construction for a dining chair to reduce material impact. Based on the success of the Pelt chair, we expanded the collection to include stools and shelves that share the familial design language.
