About Maurizio Montalti

Ephea is a new class of materials born at the intersection of biology and craft. Named after hyphae — the delicate, branching filaments of mycelium — Ephea is grown and finished in Italy, merging the intelligence of living systems with the precision of artisanal tradition, to revolutionise fashion.
