Pilotis Ply Table, designed by Bart Schilder
This week, we’re honouring the visionary designers who pioneered the use of moulded plywood that would come to revolutionise furniture and product design. Although plywood has been around for millennia, it was designers such as Alvar Aalto and the Eames duo who developed new technologies, realising the humble materials sculptural potential. With its strength, lightness and versatility, moulded plywood became the material of choice for designers, helping shape the modern world.
In his current position, Bart draws on his experience and explores new areas to create designs which enhance everyday lives. Bart supports the Rex Kralj team with corporate strategy and Art Direction.
