The Exposed Plywood Trend in Architecture and How to Make It Look Great
You need to start a series called "When The Photoshoot Is Over" that shows what these "high end" interiors look like when real humans live in them. :)
How is the plywood finished so one can keep it clean and new looking? They must need to do more than just give it a sanding. A clear coat?
It looks utterly ridiculous but if that's what rich people want to make themselves feel more down-to-earth it's certainly less labor intensive to cut the bevels than actual finish work would be.
Actually it's rather a matter of personal taste and not something that rich people do to make themselves feel more down to earth. I have noticed that in North America plywood is a bit frowned upon by woodworkers. Just about every tutorial there is out there on cabinet making shows you how to cover those "unsightly" edges with something more pleasing to the eye, like a strip of maple.
