Softened wood

Wood cut to be flexible with a cushioned fabric covered surface, with a layer of foam in between the wood and the fabric.

The wood is bendable but still stiff, with a little bit of force the wood will bend but go back to straight if let go.

The hybrid has a soft cushioned expression and is soft to the touch.

Façade

The façade made up of the hybrid Softened wood mainly shows the cushioned effect of the hybrid.

The hybrid has an outer layer of woven fabric which is sewn on to a wooden structure with a layer of cushioned
material in between.

Space divider

The parting wall using the system of Softened wood is created by a CNC milled plywood with a cushioned textile cover. It has a soft cushioned expression and is soft to the touch. The cushion also have a sound absorbing.

The space divider created is bendable but still stiff. It can be used to divide a bigger space. By attaching it to walls or pillars to create a little bit of force the wood will bend but go back to straight if let go.
