Softness

The thread and texture between the sea and the hills, city and metropolis, inside and outside; sign and function, material and design, between the landscape and the city to come. Softness is an interweaving of stories and threads. The origin is i-Mesh: a vision, a material, and a technology created in the Marche region of Italy, on Monte Conero in Numana. Its keywords are lightness, transparency, resistance, flexibility, and sustainability. The narrative develops on a journey of discussions with architects and designers, engineers and philosophers, academics and technicians, revealing new research processes with an eye to the fragile ecosystem of our time.
