    "body": "<p><em>Series of outdoor seating including a chair, armchair, and 2- and 3-seater sofas.</em></p><p>Pliss&eacute; is defined by a distinctive shell of hand-woven belts on a metal structure, supporting soft cushions.</p><p>The name <em>pliss&eacute;</em> 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.</p><p>The hand-woven belts envelop the structure like a continuous skin, subtly defining the perception of the seating volume.</p><p>The construction itself is deliberately straightforward &mdash; a single padded element on a slender steel frame.</p><blockquote><em>&ldquo;Pliss&eacute; finds its richness in the balance between a delicate weave and a structure reduced to its essentials.&rdquo; </em>&mdash; Bertrand Lejoly</blockquote><div id=\"video-85338a2c-8ad4-4e42-9ddc-f79848bc7e88\" class=\"release-content-video release-content-video--embed release-content-video--contained\">\n    <div><div style=\"left: 0;
