"The designers behind this clever piece, Fenna van der Klei and Patricio Nusselder, drew inspiration from the traditional craft of textile pleating, where fabric is carefully folded to create different shapes and volumes. It's the same technique that gives your favorite pleated skirt its structure or adds dimension to fancy curtains. But here, pleating isn't just decorative. It's doing all the heavy lifting, quite literally."
"What makes Plissade even more interesting is what it's made from. The inner layer consists of felt created from recycled post-consumer polyester clothing. Yes, that means your old t-shirts and jeans could theoretically have a second life as sound-absorbing room dividers. The outer layer features woven textile made from recycled polyester yarns. So not only is this piece solving the age-old problem of dividing space in style, it's also addressing our growing waste problem in a tangible way."
Plissade is a sculptural, freestanding room divider that achieves rigidity solely through engineered textile pleating. Designers Fenna van der Klei and Patricio Nusselder based the design on traditional textile pleating techniques to create shape and volume. The divider's inner layer uses felt made from recycled post-consumer polyester clothing, enabling old garments to be repurposed as acoustic panels. The outer layer features woven textiles made from recycled polyester yarns, reinforcing sustainability in both layers. The pleated form provides both structural support and sound absorption, making the piece functional for modern living and workspace applications.
