In the world of contemporary material innovation, i-Mesh redefines design paradigms by transforming fabric from a simple, functional element into a true architectural medium. The Arazzi Contemporanei Collection is the pinnacle of this revolution. Each thread becomes a building block of a new expressive language where innovative materials and soft architecture interact in perfect harmony.
In the Marche region, where manufacturing tradition and a glocal vision converge, the i-Mesh ecosystem was born. Thirty years of experience producing high-tech yarns evolved into revolutionary semantic research that transcends the boundaries of traditional weaving by embracing sustainability and environmental compatibility as its core principles.
"The sea is our infrastructure," says Alberto Fiorenzi, the project's visionary founder. "It is made up of relationships and insights, quality of thought and ideas, technologies, materials, and technical solutions. It is in tune with the evolution of taste, desires, creativity, and design."
The Collection is a laboratory for semantic experimentation where different languages converge, united by the search for soft architecture that is organic, responsible, and systemic. Collaborations with renowned designers such as Kengo Kuma, Yuko Nagayama, Tomo Ara, and Migliore + Servetto demonstrate i-Mesh's capacity to engage with the most sophisticated contemporary design sensibilities.
Kengo Kuma's Fuku-Ori reinterprets the traditional Japanese art of Kumiko with technical virtuosity, transforming the density of the weave into ethereal openness. Yuko Nagayama's Wave as a Phenomenon explores the incorporation of “phenomena” into architecture by transcending the limits of the three-dimensional material world through “light” and “tailor-made” solutions.
Each tapestry becomes a paradigm of augmented reality, connecting places and meanings through the dynamic relationship between matter and context.
i-Mesh is an evolution of the concept of contemporary weaving, which is no longer seen as merely a covering, but rather as a fully customizable, integrated, spatial communication system. Applications range from indoor and outdoor furnishings in public and private spaces to large-scale architectural solutions. An example is Mario Cucinella Architects' Italy Pavilion for Expo 2025 Osaka, where the technical performance of the fabric and sun protection merge into a single design vision.
Constant research into material innovation yields high-tech solutions that speak the language of contemporary architecture. Sustainability, performance, durability, and beauty merge in a design alchemy that makes fabric an unprecedented medium of expression.
The composite materials developed follow a zero-waste philosophy, ensuring reusability and environmental compatibility without compromising aesthetic or functional performance.
In this context, i-Mesh is a strategic partner for architects, designers, and engineers seeking material innovation to address the design challenges of today, where function and emotion, tradition and avant-garde converge in a synthesis of rare poetic effectiveness through cutting-edge structural and environmental design.
