ABSTRACT
Wood veneer can curl or twist when surrounding humidity levels rise. The geometry for each component is a triangular shape with two loose edges, which allow for air and light to pass through the surface when the veneer is in its curled state. The panel has a member which cuts diagonally between the two triangles, providing a connection to each piece of veneer along its grain. Each panel is cut from a thin plastic sheet creating a crisp fold along a dashed or etched cut. These unrolled shapes can be used to define the perimeter of each panel and each piece of veneer. Tabs must be added to the sides of each panel to provide a surface for connection across corners and panel-to-panel. Each piece of veneer can be cut using a CNC laser-cutter and the plastic panel components can be cut using a CNC knife blade or laser-cutter.
