The developed proposal « Reusability » leaves from a plywood sheet and the use of numerical control machine (CNC) for the cut of pieces for its assembly. This technique allows to send the file and to make the same design anywhere of the world. The sheet solves different necessities and it becomes a “transformer“. Therefore the assembly of the pieces in different ways solves several products, as a baby cradle, a pony toy and a rocking chair (the proposed concept represents the furniture like icons).
The reusability according to its utility allows to avoid the disuse, and it’s associated to the will to create global design without obsolescence. The sheet incorporates graphic engravings with the same technology.
