With a background in art and construction, New York-based designer Chris Rucker has devised a series of furniture pieces made entirely out of strand board.

Using the cheap construction sheathing, Rucker fuses quality construction methods with inexpensive and unorthodox materials, effectively exposing the material itself as a major component of the work’s aesthetic.
