Art furniture gets a familiar silhouette. Oakland artist Fernanda Martinez reimagines the plywood lounge chair with iPad-rendered fields of color. The wood grain still reads. The palette is bold without shouting. Graphic, joyful, contemporary.

The effect lands where statement seating matters. Picture one at a boutique hotel check-in, a gallery shop, or a creative office reception. The pattern moves cleanly from seat to back, so it catches from across the room and rewards a closer look. Keep it solo as a focal point or cluster a few for rhythm.

This prototype nods to the plywood lineage while pushing it forward. For context on why the form endures, revisit our roundup of molded plywood seating. Martinez’s take shows how art furniture can serve real programs. Digital artwork supports editioning and brand color stories, giving designers a classic form with a custom voice.
