"Bent Wood Plywood" — Provour's Core Technology

The creativity of designers and the skills of craftsmen are interwoven
Provour's free-form furniture, with its elegant curves and lightweight structure, remains popular across the ages.
The process of forming plywood begins by cutting natural wood into very thin veneers, then covering the surface with natural veneer or melamine, and then laminating the inner veneer layer with adhesive and using molds to pressurize and shape it, to produce a variety of delicate curves or three-dimensional one-piece structures.
Even though such boards are extremely thin, they still have extremely high strength, allowing designers to freely express lines and proportions, creating works that are both light, elegant and strong.
The curvature and details of each product ultimately require specialized hand-polishing and finishing to reveal the texture and smoothness that the finished product should possess. Through this kind of forming technology, the wood can be extended and bent, achieving free-form shapes that are difficult to achieve with solid wood.
In addition, this technology can also achieve environmental benefits, can greatly improve the utilization rate of wood, reduce waste, and produce products with high strength, not easy to deform, can provide long-term use, and delay resource consumption.
Formed plywood is not just a manufacturing process, but also a design practice. "It frees wood from the constraints of straight lines and heaviness, allowing it to express freer and more expressive design contours."
