Plissé for Paola Lenti
A new outdoor seating collection exploring the balance between structure and softness
Series of outdoor seating including a chair, armchair, and 2- and 3-seater sofas.
Plissé is defined by a distinctive shell of hand-woven belts on a metal structure, supporting soft cushions.
The name plissé refers to a textile pleating technique that creates a sequence of folds, combining structure and fluidity. This duality is expressed in the contrast between the softness of the seating and the more graphic quality of the weaving.
The hand-woven belts envelop the structure like a continuous skin, subtly defining the perception of the seating volume.
The construction itself is deliberately straightforward — a single padded element on a slender steel frame.
“Plissé finds its richness in the balance between a delicate weave and a structure reduced to its essentials.” — Bertrand Lejoly
