The Skin is an Extension of the Brain
Suffitto is part of a series of works that explore the relation that connects textile structure with the physical and social space. Margherita Soldati analyzes the boundaries between space, tactile perception, and textile surfaces. With these installations, she dives into new personal research on how to blur the line between the traditional function of surfaces and more stimulating encounters with our daily surroundings.
Margherita Soldati
A few years ago Margherita found herself obsessed with manipulating textiles to create organic and repetitive shapes. When she applied them on pillows and simple objects for patients suffering from mental diseases (Alzheimer's, Dementia), she was surprised to realize how they could benefit from being stimulated by textile patterns. Therefore she started wondering how she could integrate textile and tactile surfaces in our life: the natural next step was to embrace the flexibility and malleability of the material to imagine new possibilities to alter standard architectural elements.
