"Engineering Wood for the Human Spine"
from Built for Tomorrow · host Rainie Hebrides
Wood breathes. Your spine moves. Good furniture has to respect both.In this episode, we go deep on one of the most overlooked relationships in furniture design — the one between a living material and a living body. Why timber continues to expand, contract, and move long after it's been cut. How traditional joinery techniques work with that movement instead of against it. And why understanding wood as a structural material directly shapes how seating supports the human spine over years, not just hours.Sharp knowledge. No filler. This is Built for Tomorrow.
