PLYWOOD

IT DOESN’T sound gripping, does it? But don’t be misled: this is a stunning array of exhibits from the early days of modern design to the present. Plywood proved amazingly versatile and could be turned into curvaceous chairs and tables, aeroplanes, houses, sewing machine covers — and is now used in digital design.
