Marketing - Poetry & Literature / General
Danish term or phrase: stoflighed
The article uses poetic, metaphoric language.


Det er ”i skovens dybe, stille ro” at inspirationen er fundet – og med efterårsskovens mangfoldighed af douce, brændte nuancer inviteres der indenfor til en forførende rejse i folklore, former og farver. XXX toner frem med en sanselig stoflighed, der sammen med mange skønne detaljer gør kollektionen til et spændende bud på nytænkende design anno 2008.

I don't think "texture" is quite right here. Thanks for any suggestions.

texturality


Explanation:
Texturality/textural/texture is an often used term in architecture, literature, art, etc., and I think it is correct in this context.

My first example has a typo (important to keep the r). Here's a better example:
Texturality can not to be articulated into a spatial condition.
http://ehusserl.com/article2.htm

Example sentence(s):
  • Offred's meditations (...) show an impacting, sensuous textuality which would also prove a repressed feminine erotics in Gilead. (Montelaro 120).
  • repeating slow-motion rain and bath shower scenes that highlight the pixellated texturality of water drops) to distracting, and ultimately uninspired (and even off-putting) effect that distracts from the film's more relevant, critical assessment
