The general-purpose curved panel: 66 x 35 x 1.1 cm, laminated and pressed to shape. This is the size that answers “we need a small curved surface” — seat backs, decorative panels, display elements, prototype shells. It is the panel equivalent of the all-rounder slat: not the largest, not the most specialised, but the one that fits the most jobs.
What the dimensions mean
At 66 x 35 cm the panel covers a chair back, a small seat, or a decorative surface without waste. At 1.1 cm it is thin enough to press to a pronounced curve and light enough to keep the finished piece movable, but the lamination gives it stiffness out of plane — the property that makes a curved panel hold its shape where a thin solid board would oil-can.

Where this size is used
- Seat and back panels — the curved surface of a chair, in one pressed piece.
- Decorative panels — small curved surfaces for display and interior work.
- Prototype shells — form studies for seating designs in development.
- Lighting — small diffusers and shade elements.
Why a pressed panel
Three properties make lamination the right construction for a curved surface. The cross-layered veneers give stiffness out of plane, so the panel holds its curve instead of oil-canning under load. The moderate bending stress means the finished member is stronger than a curved single-piece equivalent. And the mould produces an identical part every cycle — which matters when a chair design needs the same curve on every unit it ships.
Faces and finishes
The panel is supplied with the face you specify: raw birch for your own veneering, or faced with white ash, black walnut or other species. Finishes follow the face species — oil or lacquer on ash, oil or hard-wax oil on walnut to keep the figure reading. Edges show the layer lines, the honest signature of a laminated part; where the design hides the edge, they disappear.
Frequently asked questions
Can the panel be made larger?
Yes — dimensions are made to your drawing; 120 x 40 cm is our largest standard panel size.
What face species are available?
Raw birch, or faced with white ash, black walnut, oak and other species to your specification.
Does the edge show the layers?
Yes — the edge shows the layer lines, the signature of a laminated part. Where the design hides the edge, they are not seen.
Can it be used for a seat?
Yes, with the layup specified for the load — tell us the application and we will confirm the construction.
Summary
66 x 35 x 1.1 cm of laminated bent plywood — the general-purpose curved surface, pressed to hold its shape and identical every cycle. Send the drawing with your face and finish specification; we confirm the layup, quote within 24 hours, and deliver prototypes in 7–15 days.
Sizing at a glance
| Length | 66 cm — small frames and decorative spans |
| Width | 35 cm — a compact surface |
| Section | 1.1 cm — thin; pronounced curves, stiff from the form |
| Primary use | Seat and back panels, decorative surfaces, prototypes |
| Load class | Light to moderate — the form supplies the stiffness |
Programme notes
The mould is the asset on a panel programme. It is built to your curve, it produces an identical part every cycle, and it stays on file — so a re-order two years after the first batch produces the same panel, which is what makes a pressed-panel design viable for production seating. Where the design evolves between prototype and production, the mould is updated rather than replaced, and the revision is documented against the original approval.
Panels are packed flat or edge-protected depending on the curve, with the surface protected against scuffing. Every shipment carries inspection reports on request and a full warranty against warping and cracking in transit and use.
