»La bellezza che chiude il cerchio | The beauty that closes the circle«
Chiudere il cerchio è un gesto estetico che rinnova il nostro sguardo, invitandoci a sentire ogni fibra, scoprire l’eco dei colori e comprendere la trama dell’effimero. Completare il ciclo dei materiali è il cuore pulsante del nostro design contemporaneo—un invito a cambiare prospettiva e a scoprire una bellezza che prima trascuravamo, racchiusa nella naturalezza e nell’autenticità. È un percorso per lasciarsi alle spalle l'immagine imposta, svelare la bellezza sempre trascurata del grezzo e dell'imperfetto. Così proiettiamo il futuro su una nuova tela, dove tessuti e interni emergono dalla loro essenza, insegnandoci a vedere e a comprendere realmente i materiali in un modo nuovo.
Closing the circle is an aesthetic gesture that renews the gaze, teaches us to feel every fibre, to unveil the echo of colours, and to understand the texture of the ephemeral. Closing the circle of materials is the pulse of our creation today, an invitation to change perspective and to discover, in the raw and the pure, a beauty that we previously ignored. It is like erasing the imposed image, undoing the lines of what has already been said, and finding, in the rusticity and the roughness the harmony of the imperfect, of the mutable. It is projecting the future onto a new canvas, where fabrics and interior design come to life from their essence and teach us to see-to think the materials.

»Materiality & Physicality«
Where and in what way do textiles engage with us in space? How does their material flatness behave in the realm of the three-dimensional? What can the delicate density, the flowing softness and the elegant fullness of textiles effect? Guided by these questions, we look at project examples and embark on a tour through the materiality and physicality of textiles in space.
