Abstract: Furniture comprises a strong, aesthetically appealing, woven lattice of interlocking slats made of wood laminate having indentations allowing fitting of the slats across one another so as to form a lattice. Advantageously, the furniture is manufactured of a single type of material, such as bent wood laminate slats. No other supporting structural material is needed to make the furniture simultaneously possess the advantages of being sturdy, aesthetically appealing, economical to manufacture, and light in structure and appearance.

Abstract: An article of furniture or other similar load bearing structural article comprises a laminate of flat, corrugated cardboard pieces conforming generally to the cross-sectional shape of the article. The plane of each piece is generally parallel to the direction in which the load is predominantly applied with the flutes of adjacent corrugated cardboard pieces extending at right angles to each other. The individual pieces are secured together adhesively and, if desired, support stringers and end pieces may be used for increased rigidity and, thus, improved stability.
