SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, February 26, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — Smith & Fong, the pioneering force in sustainable architectural bamboo products, proudly announces the launch of Pleat&Weave™ , an innovative line where dynamic, sustainable bamboo surfaces meet the craftsmanship of textiles and
fashion design, shaping spaces with artful precision and fluid sophistication.
“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, Fashion Designer and Sculpture / Materials Designer for Pleat&Weave by Smith & Fong Company
Inspired by the intricate artistry of traditional weaving and pleating techniques, Pleat&Weave brings a fresh, sophisticated dimension to walls, ceilings, and other architectural surfaces. The collection showcases an array of precision-crafted patterns that interplay with light and shadow, creating dynamic visual effects ideal for commercial, hospitality, and residential spaces.
“Pleat&Weave represents the next evolution of our commitment to sustainable, high-design materials,” said Angus Stocks, President of Smith & Fong Plyboo. “By combining the natural beauty of bamboo with advanced manufacturing techniques, we have crafted a product line that not only enhances aesthetics but also upholds our dedication to environmental responsibility.”
Each Pleat&Weave panel can be made from FSC certified bamboo, an eco-friendly, rapidly renewable material. Engineered for strength and longevity, the panels Carb Compliant meet rigorous sustainability standards such as EPD, HPD and Life Cycle Analysis and contribute to LEED certification credits, reinforcing Smith & Fong’s leadership in responsible manufacturing.
