About PlyDesign

Plydesign is a Hungarian design brand established in 2014. Plydesign was born out of the desire to create excellent design which contributes to the well-being of people. Care, consciousness and curiosity have been shaping the core of our design approach where the fusion of technology and material make our imaginations a reality – the enhancement of people’s quality of life.

Tamás Babits, founder and managing director of Plydesign and András Kerékgyártó, head of design, share the same holistic view – design, according to them, is not merely about creating objects, but it is a matter of deep understanding of social and personal context, therefore a physical answer for real everyday problems.

Our achievements greatly rely on the high level of enthusiasm, prowess and diligence of our partners. Our family-owned factory has gained a 30-year solid background of experience in manufacturing moulded plywood components for renowned design brands. The versatile and flexible nature of plywood allows us to create contours following the shape of the body, producing smaller amounts of waste and using less raw materials than solid wood. In addition, choosing wood only from FSC -certified sources.

With this mindset, Plydesign has successfully found a way to bring about such an ecosystem where end-users, stakeholders, partners, employees and team members equally find solutions for their needs.
