"Plié" (or "Bended") is a lamp designed by French boilermaker Jean Lagard that plays with visual perspective. Its sharply angled sides at times fully reveal, or merely suggest, the warmth and softness of the light glowing between its two metal folds. The clean and geometric design of "Plié" highlights the simplicity of a sheet of metal. With this minimalist concept, the designer offers his own interpretation of how a lamp can provide light.
