      abstract = {This book presents a design research on the basalt fiber,  a natural mineral material with important characteristics,  and investigates the material's properties, production  techniques, and most common uses, while also delving into  aspects yet to be improved. The work presents a part of  original research in between art and design, in which  concepts, prototypes, and ideas are proposed, aimed at the  enhancement of basalt fiber also from an esthetic point of  view and not only from a performance one. By working on its  perceived qualities and creative and formal potential, it  is possible to support and extend the use of this material  in many areas of design, including product, exhibit,  cultural industries, and fashion. Considering that  environmental regulations are increasingly stringent, the  use of basalt fiber may in some cases be more advantageous  than other popular technical fibers, both because of its  own performance characteristics and specifically because of  its inherent sustainability.},
