Product Description

Smith & Fong Company, manufacturer of Plyboo® bamboo architectural panels and flooring products, today announced the launch of The Living Hinge Collection™ a new line of flexible acoustical panels made from carved bamboo plywood.

“The Living Hinge Collection was developed to tackle design challenges with walls that don’t conform to right angles,” Smith & Fong president Angus Stocks said. “Utilizing CNC technology, these panels can literally bend around a corner to provide visual continuity – and sound-reducing performance – for non-standard interior walls.”

By definition, a “living hinge” is a thin flexible hinge (flexure bearing) made from the same material as the two rigid pieces it connects. Utilizing the enticing movement and remarkable strength associated with a CNC-enabled flexible hinge, Smith & Fong has engineered an otherwise rigid material to flex effortlessly into a 24" (610mm) radius.
