Sparkling mural Anthracite

Abacá, or Manila hemp, is one of the strongest textile fibres. Extracted from the core of the stalk, the fibres from this plant, which belongs to the banana family and is grown in Ecuador and the Philippines (Musa textilis), are used in haute couture fashion and interior design. It can be dyed to produce rich and refined colours while retaining a slightly transparent quality. Since the fibre is obtained through the ecological process of tuxying, the thread is guaranteed to be 100% plant-based. The know-how involved in processing this fibre offers a product with a multitude of creative possibilities for the production of blinds, Japanese room dividers and wall coverings.
