Over the decades, Canobbio Textile has emerged as a leader in designing and constructing tensile structures for cruise ships, enhancing dozens of vessels for some of the most prestigious cruise companies in the industry.

The challenges faced by tensile structures on board a cruise ship are significant, given the powerful gusts of wind experienced during navigation. For this reason, every component of a tensile structures for cruise ships – from the membrane to the stay cables, from the framework to the tensioning systems – is designed with sophisticated calculation software and crafted using only top-quality materials.

We provide a comprehensive service that covers every phase of the process. From the on-site surveying phase, through design and production in our facilities, to the delicate installation phase, managed by a team of highly specialized technicians.

Every structure for cruise ships that takes shape is the result of a fusion of cutting-edge technology and refined aesthetics, offering a solution that marries functionality with beauty. 

Canobbio Textile’s tensile structures for cruise ships bring art and engineering to the high seas, enhancing the journey for anyone fortunate enough to sail the waves on these extraordinary ships.

Tensile structures for urban furnishing represent the pinnacle of synergy between futuristic design and cutting-edge functionality.

These architectural marvels transform urban spaces into oases of comfort and beauty.

Picture elegant squares and parks, enveloped in technologically advanced fabrics, providing shelter from scorching sun or sudden rain, inviting citizens and visitors to enjoy an unparalleled outdoor experience.

Usually characterised by a perforated mesh membrane, shading tensile structures are light, coloured, functional and stylish sun shading solutions.

They may be simple triangular or rhomboidal shapes finished perimetrically with cables or coated tapes, welded on the main tensioned membrane, reinforced with double layer fastened on the corners, fixing plates and tensioning systems.

Our tensile structures stand as the epitome of innovation and aesthetics at Expos worldwide. With a near-constant presence in nearly every edition, Canobbio Textile have brought forth architectural marvels that have captivated the attention of thousands of visitors.

We are leaders in the conception, production, and installation of unique structures tailored for exhibitions, concerts, conferences, and various events.

Canobbio Textile excellence is evident in the design, created with sophisticated calculation software, and in the precise construction, subjected to rigorous laboratory tests, ensuring unparalleled longevity and durability of modular structures for events.

Textile architecture has revolutionized the preservation of delicate archaeological sites around the world. 

Since our first project at the Temple of Apollo in 1987, we’ve continued to push boundaries, covering landmarks like the Megalithic Temples of Malta, and incorporating cutting-edge ETFE film in our latest installations.

In the world of architecture, iconic tensile structures are not merely constructions of concrete and steel, but true narratives that enrich the fabric of the cities they inhabit.

Each structure is infused with symbolic and cultural significance, seamlessly marrying aesthetics with functionality.

The facade solution enables redesigning the aesthetics of a building by creating a “second skin” which is a climatic mediation space between the outside and the inside ensuring ventilation and protection from solar radiation.

The possibility of utilizing both closed and open mesh fabrics with a wide range of colours is another aspect of considerable interest inthe application of technical textiles in architecture

which is currently establishing itself as an effective and economical system of media communication at urban levelfavoured by the opportunity to print logos or decorations on the fabrics.
