"Plywood," explained Popular Science in 1948, "is a layercake of lumber and glue." In the history of design, plywood is also an important modern material that has given 20th-century designers of everyday objects, furniture and even architecture greater flexibility in shaping modern forms at an industrial scale. This installation features examples, drawn from MoMA's collection, of modern designs that take advantage of the formal and aesthetic possibilities offered by plywood, from around 1930 through the 1950s.
