Plywood: Material, Process, Form is an ongoing exhibit at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City that will be open to the public starting tomorrow, February 2, 2012.

Plywood has given 20th-century designers a material embodying “formal and aesthetic” qualities on an industrial scale.

More on the exhibit after the break. read more »
