Why Using Plywood For Interior?

Hello friend of Bali Interio, before creating an interior, of course you will choose the material to be used. One material that is very suitable for interior use is plywood. Bali interior often uses plywood as our material, here are the reasons why plywood is very suitable for interior use.

1.     Unlike solid wood, plywood is not easy to bow and expands, so it is more durable when used in making furniture with flat planes

2.    Because it is made of solid wood sheets, plywood has a good density so it can hold screws and nails better than MDF or particle board

3.      It is easy to use and shape so that it can be used as a raw material for various types of wooden furniture and handicrafts

4.    Not easily deformed, cracked or aged, premium type plywood is also coated with a termite-resistant coating

5.     Plywood still has clear wood grain, so it can be coated with melamine or resin for a classier and more luxurious finish

6.      Plywood is also more resistant to weather, water and humidity

7.     It is a good alternative for the main furniture frame because it is sturdy and strong so that it can reduce the use of solid particles in the manufacture of the main furniture frame

8.     The price of plywood is also more affordable than real wood products

 

    With these advantages, using plywood as a solid alternative is actually much more profitable in the production process.

OLA JACHYMIAK STUDIO BRIGHTENS BEAM CAFE IN LONDON WITH ORANGE HUES

The exterior of Beam cafe in London’s Notting Hill neighbourhood

Locally-based Ola Jachymiak Studio was brought on board to design the cafe, tasked with creating an inviting interior that would be able to comfortably accommodate just over 90 customers.

There was just one key issue – the cafe unit had an awkwardly long and narrow plan that allowed in very little sunlight. The studio therefore decided to utilise a colour and material palette that would foster a sense of brightness and warmth.

Arched niches in the walls display amber-hued ornaments

At the front of Beam is a casual seating area dressed with egg yolk-yellow armchairs and a couple of tropical potted plants.

The black gridded windows that previously featured on the cafe’s facade have also been swapped for expansive panels of glazing. During the warmer summer months, these can be pushed back to let in more light and fresh air.

A burnt-orange seating banquette is set against an exposed-brick wall

Just beyond lies a more formal dining area. The wall on the right-hand side has been painted white and punctuated with arched niches that display amber-hued glass ornaments.

On the left-hand side is an exposed brick wall. Along its lower half runs a curvaceous seating banquette upholstered in burnt-orange velvet.

Tangerine-coloured paint covers the middle section of the cafe

Tangerine-coloured paint has been applied to the walls in the middle section of the cafe, where the coffee and pastry bar is located.

Customers who are getting their orders to-go can flick through the books and magazines displayed here on wall-mounted shelving units.

The central coffee bar is made from oak and white Calacatta marble

The base of the bar is lined with strips of oak, while the countertop is crafted from white Calacatta marble. Hanging directly overhead is a Bubble lamp by American designer George Nelson.

This section of the cafe also features flooring clad with terracotta tiles. The same tiles appear again in the bathrooms, covering the toilet cubicles and the arched panels that the sinks back onto.

A lighting installation illuminates the dining area at the back of the cafe

Additional dining tables and bistro-style chairs with orange seat cushions have been placed at the rear of Beam, which was once the darkest area of the cafe.

To counter this, Ola Jachymiak Studio has created a light installation across the ceiling. It comprises several spherical pendant lamps from Danish brand New Works that have been suspended at different heights.

Sheer white curtains have also been draped around the room’s periphery.

More arched niches appear in the cafe’s bathrooms, which are lined with terracotta tiles

Ola Jachymiak Studio was established in 2013. Its Beam project joins a number of trendy eateries in west London’s Notting Hill neighbourhood.

LED light

According to Energy Star, LED stands for light emitting diode. The light produced by this lamp is believed to be 90% more effective than a regular bulb. Whether it’s a room lamp, table lamp, or wall lamp, you can use an LED type bulb to be the center of lighting. Light levels in the morning are also recommended to be higher, in order to increase work productivity.

Halogen lamp

The brightness level of halogen lamps is quite high, more or less the same as LED lamps. Even so, halogen lamps do tend to get hotter if used for a long time. Reporting from Lightologi, this is because halogen lamps also use higher power when compared to LEDs. Therefore, halogen lamps should be installed using lampshades such as glass, wire and other materials. With a high brightness level, working at home is even easier because you are more literate than usual.


To get the comfort you want to get, the level of lighting is one of the effects because the level of lighting will have an influence in giving color to certain lights. If the higher the lighting required, the cooler the selected color will look so as to create comfortable lighting.
