About the project

The Ply-Works furniture collection is designed and made in-house by Flux Laser & CNC Studio’s Director Alice Jacobs and the team. The collection utilises their experience with digital fabrication materials from conception to finished product. Furniture is CNC’d from FSC certified sustainably sourced birch ply and laminated with non-toxic, solvent free and biodegradable glue. Each piece has a maximum of six pieces and four screws, meaning they can be assembled in less than 5 minutes.

Pieces are sanded and available unsealed for customisation or hand finished with natural oils for a durable and hard wearing finish. Waste is kept to a minimum within design and production by nesting pieces to be cut as tightly as possible on each sheet. Any waste generated is re-utilised in other projects for the studio or other local small businesses, or sent to wood recyclers where it is made into Fibreboard to be used again in the construction industry.
