Bernina 7 Milan
Located in one of Milan’s fast-changing areas, the Bernina 7 project represents a new vision of urban living: contemporary, shared, and focused on well-being.
Within this dynamic context, the architects looked for solutions capable of combining aesthetic value, functionality, and architectural coherence, introducing vertical decorative elements able to integrate seamlessly with the building’s clean lines and selected color palette.
Based on these requirements, we were asked to provide a fabric that would be extremely brilliant, stable over time despite prolonged exposure to sunlight, and capable of offering selective visual protection: preventing a clear view into the interior while still allowing visibility from the inside to the outside. The solution was our Arquifil fabric, in the refined platinum shade.
The lightness of the material
Our fabric stands out for a slightly thicker weave and for its ability to generate intense, luminous reflections, while maintaining the sobriety and elegance typical of our metallized fabrics. In this project, the mesh did not serve a purely aesthetic function, but also took on a fundamental technical role: acting as a kind of filtering brise-soleil, capable of protecting from direct light and improving privacy without sacrificing the visual comfort of interior spaces.
From technique to design
From a technical standpoint, Arquifil guarantees long-term color stability: thanks to its complete and perfect compatibility with glass, it is not subject to weather-related wear, does not oxidize, and is resistant even to conditions of extreme humidity. These characteristics make it an extremely versatile material for any façade or external architectural structure, ensuring stable and durable performance in any climatic context.
Its synthetic structure also makes it insensitive to thermal expansion, guaranteeing structural stability even when used on façades, without generating unwanted pressure or stress on the glazing system. The final result is a vibrant, brilliant, and coherent architectural surface that enhances the building both aesthetically and functionally.
