In contemporary collectible design, material is more than a medium — it is a voice. Across exhibitions at Functional Art Gallery, Side Gallery, and Carpenters Workshop Gallery, designers are redefining the boundary between art and object, exploring how material form can express silence, weight, and emotion.
PletoStudio continues this conversation through Pleto Biocomposite™, our signature material born from a fusion of clay, hemp fibers, cellulose, wood shavings, and eco-friendly glue. Neither stone nor wood, it belongs somewhere in between — a living matter that unites the permanence of mineral with the warmth of organic.
When sculpted by hand, Pleto Biocomposite™ behaves like soft earth — it can be carved, shaped, and textured to reveal surfaces that appear aged yet timeless. Once hardened, it becomes strong and tactile, holding light in subtle gradients. The resulting form feels both ancient and modern, grounding and ethereal.
Each lamp, mirror, or table crafted from this material reflects our pursuit of emotional geometry — shapes that evoke stillness, simplicity, and natural tension. This language of form aligns PletoStudio with the same sculptural sensibility seen in collectible pieces curated by Galerie Philia or Functional Art Gallery.
We believe design should not imitate nature, but collaborate with it. Pleto Biocomposite™ is our way of speaking the earth’s language — translating its textures, its memory, and its quiet strength into objects made to last.
