Description
The Softly Pleated I pendant is a stunning exploration of material and form. Designed by Philip Bro, it seamlessly merges the heritage of Danish hand-folding with the contemporary, organic appeal of needle-felted fibers. The result is a sculptural lighting solution that adds a bold, distinctive character to any interior.
Beyond its striking silhouette, the Softly Pleated I is engineered for beautiful light distribution. While it provides a focused downward beam—perfect for dining tables or reception desks—the surface is delicately perforated. These tiny openings allow light to “breathe” through the felt, casting an atmospheric pattern that adds a cosy, sophisticated layer to the room’s ambience.
Crafted from carded and needle-felted fibers, each pendant is inherently unique. Because of this traditional production process, you will find slight variations in the felt composition and colour tones. These subtle “imperfections” and occasional multi-coloured threads are a testament to the organic nature of the material, ensuring that no two lamps are exactly alike.
Available in three sizes, Softly Pleated I is a favourite for architects and designers working on larger environments. Its commanding presence and the natural acoustic properties of felt make it a perfect choice for:
-
Hospitals & Hotels: Foyers, lounges, and guest rooms.
-
Restaurants & Canteens: Creating intimate dining “zones” within larger spaces.
-
Residential Living: Adding a soft, textile-driven focal point to modern homes.
