Took a few thumbnails I had in my sketchbook and blew them up a tad bit. Exploring how to make this wooden textile idea a bit more interesting as well as how to make it relate a bit back more to the Eames. Although a bit more subtle in execution.
On concept B. Maybe the wooden textile is on a wooden colored backer. Making it read more like a full veener sheet from a distance as opposed to the individual shapes. Then using a contrasting color between the panels for that shape break up.
