Developed by Italian material innovation company SQIM, Ephea grows mycelium into soft, refined materials for fashion and beyond. Co-founded by biodesigner Maurizio Montalti, Ephea is scaling up production and has entered the luxury market through collaborations with Balenciaga and Bottega Veneta.
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.
