Places of suspension and whispers, moments before the metallic roar breaks the stillness. Motionless passageways where, at times, the world disappears, and one feels like the only soul still awake. Thoughts race ahead of the ticking clock, its numbers frozen in time, much like the buttons by Bottonificio Lenzi 1955. Eyes remain fixed on the lilac horizon by Tessitura Rossi, anticipating the train’s arrival. As the heartbeat quickens, the soft morning light filters through the iron tunnel, touching the skin. At the edge of the platform, a metallic fabric by Libeco basks in the sun, imagining the vacations awaiting at the journey’s end. One last stretch, one final ride before reaching the destination. With impatience, Airily labels mark the countdown at an unusually bright metro station. The warmth of the sun descends from the tunnel exits, gifting transit points with a rare sense of calm and familiarity. The escalators slice through the uniformity of walls and floors with steady inclination, like the craftsmanship by Forza Giovane Art. On an electric orange seat – like a CM Tessuti fabric – a loving gesture lingers at the stop, waiting for its next journey. The terminal brightens under the sun, which climbs the wall, counting the minutes. A fabric by Lanificio di Tollegno mirrors the smooth colonnaded concrete, accompanying the slow pause. Lost in the countryside, a solitary platform offers its shade to the few passersby beneath the sweltering blue sky, its soft clouds resembling a fabric by Harris Tweed Hebrides. On the dark subway platform, the train car holds its doors open, ready to receive. From within, a warm violet glow radiates – like a DA.MA. Seta fabric – an inviting signal to hurried travellers. In the deep night, the bus stop remains lit, surrounded by emptiness. The cold LED pierces the darkness under the starless sky. Natural hues blend with artificial lights, reflected on a fabric by Fiveol Textile.
