Pleat&Weave™ by Plyboo®
The Interplay of Line and Grain
Where dynamic, sustainable bamboo surfaces meet the craftsmanship of textiles and
fashion design, shaping spaces with artful precision and fluid sophistication.
Artistry in Bamboo
The Pleat&Weave™ collection by Plyboo embodies a harmonious fusion of organic materiality and precise geometric design, celebrating the inherent beauty of bamboo through innovative forms inspired by fashion and textiles. Designed by Kelsey Ann Kasom, the collection reflects her design philosophy, shaped by the interplay of line and grain.
The designs draw inspiration from traditional weaving techniques, chevron motifs, and accordion pleats, reimagined into modern, multi-dimensional compositions that evoke both fluidity and structure. The patterns extend beyond the panel’s edges, creating visual narratives of continuity, interconnectedness, and spatial rhythm.
“Pleat reflects movement and repetition, while weave captures structure through the grain, creating a dynamic flow that transforms spaces—where movement is not merely a result of draping but a continuation of the material’s visual rhythm. The interaction of shadow and reflective light on the grain of Plyboo RealCore® bamboo enhances the depth and dimension of the design. The bamboo is elevated, embodying fluidity that transforms static environments into dynamic expressions of design.” — Kelsey Ann Kasom, Materials Designer for Plyboo by Smith & Fong Company
Pleat&Weave™ emphasizes balance—between organic texture and engineered precision, bold forms and subtle details, and the tension between movement and stillness. Each panel serves as a visual and tactile experience, encouraging the viewer to explore the seamless integration of natural elements with meticulously calculated design.
Through its thoughtful manipulation of scale, repetition, and proportion, the collection transforms bamboo into an art form, offering a meditative reflection on the convergence of nature and craftsmanship. This Plyboo collection stands as a testament to sustainable design innovation, showcasing bamboo’s versatility and its potential to create spaces that are simultaneously grounded in natural beauty and elevated by architectural sophistication.
