Tacchini Flock: A sustainable wool collection
During Milano Design Week 2023, Tacchini teamed up once again with Formafantasma in the pursuit of greater sustainability. At Capsule Plaza, the brand unveiled Tacchini FLOCK, a project installation conceived and curated by Formafantasma. Reworking upholstered seating from the inside, Formafantasma introduces a more sustainable, nature-based process for the manufacture of iconic Tacchini designs, using surplus sheep’s wool to replace industrial foam. In combination with natural latex, the non-polluting sheep’s wool provides softness and stuffing with a natural material that has paradoxically been treated as a waste product. But there’s so much more to the sustainable story between man and nature. We encourage you to enjoy this 15 minute educational adventure by clicking below.

GlamPure: Organic wallcovering, Japandi style
Glamora introduced this ultra-natural special edition wallcovering, GlamPure, with the Komorebi Collection. Inspired by the dappled light between trees, and soft, natural colors, this unique plant-fibre textile is the ultimate solution. Made of European linen with considerable aesthetic and practical value, it presents a high level of sustainability: it is compostable and eco-compatible in every way. Its technical qualities make it ideal for use in biophilic residential and hospitality settings. It is durable, moisture absorbing and hypoallergenic. The fibrous surface, with its low rate of thermal and acoustic conductivity, speaks to its insulating and thermo-regulatory properties.
