formafantasma (28 articles)

formafantasma (andrea trimarchi and simone farresin) has established a coherent body of work that is characterized by experimental material investigations through which they explore issues such as the relationship between tradition and local culture. with a critical approach to sustainability and looking at the significance of objects as cultural conduits, the duo perceive their role as a bridge between crafts, industry, object and user, in which they are interested in forging links between their research-based practice and the wider design industry. studio formafantasma has had work commissioned by a variety of companies including: droog, fendi, gallery libby sellers, Hermès, and LEXUS.
