Braided wool felt strips come together to make soft and dimensional hanging panels. Available in straight and curved panels in three standard sizes as well as custom, Plectere divides space while providing openness and allowing light through. Combine multiple Plectere panels to create undulating dividers that meander through a space or hang on their own to make an impact. And thanks to the minimal suspension hardware, nothing steals the show from these bespoke knitted screens.
Petra Vonk has spent her career studying and perfecting the art of knitting. This Dutch textile designer launched her Amsterdam design studio in 1990 after graduating from the Eindhoven Design Academy. Initially working as a knitwear designer for international labels, she became frustrated by the impermanence of fashion, so began focusing on scaling up her knitted works for use in interiors and architectural projects. While employing technology with traditional knitted craft, Petra creates often new and unexpected concepts and applications.
