LINEAPELLE is the most important international exhibition dedicated to the sectors of leather, accessories, components, synthetic, fabrics and models for footwear, leather goods, clothing and furnishings. The exhibition system represented by Lineapelle and its related shows is hinged on the primacy of (Italian) companies, bearers of style, quality, and customer service.
At the event, which will be held at Milano Rho Fiera from Feb. 25 to 27, Materica will be present with a work created in collaboration with Maurizio Molini, an architect leading Studio Molini.
Through a process of casting pure metal wires, projected in the form of micronized particles, Materica wraps any surface with a metal film, cloaking it with a new identity. In the Kumihimo screen, Pro-Fit’s hand-woven rope stretched over a wooden frame is transformed into rigid, shiny material. The result is an unexpected object, alternating in modularity, harmonious in geometry: the result of technological innovation and the search for overall balance.
