Story
Geometry built from one flowing line
Lievore Altherr Molina gave Ply a triangular plan and a continuous transition from top to legs. Arper compares the open-ended compositions to Tangram, where a limited family of shapes can generate changing arrangements.
Tables and stools in one language
The system moves between low tables and stools without changing its three-leg construction. Table heights of 36 and 44 centimetres support different groupings, while three stool heights extend the family upward. Each member can remain independent or take part in a larger composition.
