Silk and wool both have very high insulation properties. The combination of these materials allowed me to create curtains that, in addition to providing insulation, also retain the humidity in the air, releasing it when required. Unable to resist the fascination of these materials, I also had fun creating cushions and fabrics for the home.
Bioworks intend to re-discover an essential element of our culture, taking a step back in the attempt to break the negative trend of consumerism and waste. The most appropriate material for this was found to be felt, due both to its ancient origins and to the purity of the textile itself, and to the fact that its production does not involve any polluting industrial processes. I experimented with textures and languages, with different modes of utilisation, which will inevitably be transferred to the user, who will control the processes of self-construction, re-utilisation and re-cycling.
