Intimacy and practicality coexist in the same object: the wool is addressed to the body, the scaffold net refers to another scale, hat of the building. Of a portable cover or a wall covering, the two materials are combined by needle felting, a technique borrowed from the textile industry. The net protects from cold, wind, the gaaze of the workers, and minimizes the fall of rcks and dust outside the site. Wool is the oldest thermal and acoustic isolation, and recalls a certain proximity of life between animal and man.
