THE GIFTS OF NATURE

Cotton is one of the most breathable natural fibres In addition to having a good absorption capacity (hygroscopicity) it favours the evaporation and dispersion of humidity and allows air to pass, accommodating a constant and physiological

drying process. It is not very elastic and is resistant to ironing, so it is also washable at high temperatures, but it is not to light and acidic substances and can encourage the growth of mould and bacteria.

Linen is breathable and very resistant. Especially when it is wet, it has a greater absorption capacity than cotton and a better thermal conductivity, so it is particularly fresh-feeling when used in clothing.

One of its specific properties is that it is hypo-allergenic and therefore particularly suitable for sensitive skin. It is not very elastic and as such it is characterised by a wrinkled appearance that makes it both practical and glamorous.

Soy fibres are known for being very soft and nice to touch and so they are referred to as “vegetable cashmere”.

Like bamboo, soy also has antibacterial qualities, it is breathable, air-permeable, UV-resistant and biodegradable.

Hemp has good thermal conductivity and an excellent absorption capacity. Its hollow fibre can absorb moisture from the body and keep it dry, giving you a feeling of great comfort. It possesses anti-bacterial and regenerative properties that

exceed any other natural fibre. Cultivation has a very low environmental impact because it requires little water, is selfcompatible and does not require any pesticides. It is very wear-resistant and is a natural filter for UVA rays.

Bamboo is considered the eco-fibre of the moment due to its multiple properties: it is breathable, absorbent and particularly hypo-allergenic and antimicrobial, making it especially suitable for delicate skin and for allergy sufferers.

Thanks to a bio-agent present in its molecular structure, the “bamboo kun” guarantees high antibacterial, anti-mite, anti-moth protection (even after many washes). Greatly prized for underwear, due to the hygiene and natural freshness, it is also naturally stretch and UV-resistant.

Wood brings home nature and healthiness and helps create an oasis of peace and well-being. It is not only used in furniture, it is also used for the structures, walls, furnitures and flooring.

Wood in various different cuts and essences, as well as the bamboo, have excellent beneficial properties.
