« Limitation makes the creative mind inventive. »

— Walter Gropius

Soft Materials Engineering (SME) was created by Benjamin Degasne, a textile engineer with 15 years of experience in technical textiles and inflatable technologies, whose obsession is inventiveness.

The realization of airtight inflatable products (as opposed to ventilated products) requires a know-how and a mastery that is much more complex than it seems.

We mix all existing technologies and materials, which allows us to find creative solutions to complex problems.
