Textiles have always been Bolzan’s chosen territory, the hallmark
of its approach to design. The investigation of materials continually
pushes the company and its designers to discover new partner-
ships inspired by quality, shared values and an idea of sustainability
and respect for the Earth. This was the background to the meeting
with Torri Lana, the natural fabric factory in the Bergamo area that
has been a point of reference for architects and designers since
the middle of the last century, with which Bolzan began a valuable
collaboration in 2022 under the direction of Zanellato/Bortotto.
The meeting led the designers to explore an immense archive that
chronicles the evolution of Italian textile design over more than
a century. The result of this partnership, Filled fabric is a cotton and
wool composition designed in the 1980s by Jole Gandolini and
used, over time, for international fittings and furnishings signed by
great masters. Rescued from over 500,000 samples in the Torri
Lana archive, Filled has been revisited for Bolzan in five colours that
perpetuate a chapter in the history of Italian-made creativity.
