Pleat Box

by Marset is a pendant that celebrates the juxtaposition of hard and soft. Cast in ceramic, the pendant nevertheless resembles fabric folds. Available in four shapes and sizes, Pleat Box also comes in an array of dynamic colors: the exterior comes in white, terracotta, brown, black, and grey ceramic with interiors offered in brilliant white enamel or glittering gold.

Collaboration Unites Marset, Ceramicist Xavier Mañosa, and Berlin-based Mashallah

The result of the inaugural collaboration between Barcelona's Marset, Berlin's Mashallah design studio, and master ceramicist Xavier Mañosa, Pleat Box is a deceptive sleight-of-hand. Though it looks like cloth, its material is handcrafted ceramic. Mashallah design studio digitally rendered creased cloth using 3D computer models, and then ceramicist Mañosa cast Pleat Box in his workshop. The resulting pendant is "sculptural in nature and its design highlights the dichotomy between appearance and composition."
