Ethimo's latest collection is all about weaves
Inspired by the traditional craftsmanship of Eastern Spain and patios, the new collection designed by Studio Zanellato/Bortotto reimagines the aesthetics of comfort.
Examples combine technology and aesthetics, hinting at new spheres of application for equipment in this sector, which, as well as helping people with hearing difficulties, can help neutralize fastidious background noises such as traffic and shouting children; it could also “lower the volume” of chitchat in bars, making conversation easier. Products could become as desirable and accessible as those for the sight, now used almost like jewellery. L.M.
