The 'Folly' soap collection by Brooklyn-based design firm [Pelle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poltrona-frau-2) is an ornamental range of architectural soaps available as a set or individually. The delicate collection isn't the first for Pelle in which they explore soap, with a previous project of bubble chandeliers.
