Description
Overview
Pli is a suspension lamp by Felicia Arvid, introduced by Foscarini in 2023, with direct, indirect and semi-diffused light. The soft folds and draping of the paper evoke the lightness of a garment, and the light brings a warm and enveloping atmosphere to interiors.
Construction
Inside the PMMA body runs an aluminium tube that carries the LED strips. The diffuser is one long ribbon of fine Italian art paper (100% cotton fibres) with soft draping, closed at each end by a round cap of natural satin-finished aluminium under a transparent coating. Steel cables suspend it, the cord is transparent, and a matte white ABS ceiling plate holds the transformer.

Story
Form, material and structure in one gesture
Pli combines form, material and structure in a single gesture. The paper ribbon is folded into soft draping, and the tubular structure with its LED strips sits inside the PMMA body.
From fashion to lighting
Felicia Arvid began in fashion design and went on to study architecture at the Glasgow School of Art. Her work merges material, function and construction, and Pli is her suspension lamp for Foscarini.
