Sweden, where the photo is set, is in fact the designers' country of origin: “We scanned areas of forest and other natural contexts in 3D, exploring shapes, structures and material surfaces. Thanks to the potential of the digital loom, the fabric copies the colors, the details and even the roughness detected by the scans, ”says Anna Lindgren. Documentation work is linked to traditional techniques such as drawing or paintings combined with hi-tech technologies (thanks to the collaboration with Kvadrat, 3D Wasp and Floranth).

Part of the research work focused on the creativity shown by some animals in building their lair, from mammals such as the beaver and the bear, to single-celled organisms to observe the materials used by animals, the construction methods, the function of the structures. and how they relate to the surrounding environment.

The work of the Front is “a wonderful conceptual dislocation that never ceases to amaze me”, explains Patrizia Moroso. "They approached this work with the meticulousness typical of a naturalistic investigation, isolating presences, following traces, taking possession of existing forms that, without any transformation, have become archetypes to be reproduced in a different urban, industrial and technological dimension". At the moment this is still a research project, but a large installation is expected by the end of the year and also furniture, objects and fabrics.
