Formafantasma

Formafantasma is a design studio founded by Italian designers Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin. Working from studios in Milan and Rotterdam, the practice is known for its research-based approach to design, exploring the cultural, ecological and historical forces that shape the built environment. Their work spans product design, exhibitions, and spatial projects, often developed through a close study of materials, production processes and context. This analytical approach results in objects and environments that are both visually precise and conceptually grounded. Since founding the studio in 2009, Formafantasma has collaborated with a wide range of international clients including Flos, Fendi, Jil Sander, Max Mara, Hermès, Cassina, Prada and Artek. Their work has been exhibited and acquired by leading museums such as MoMA, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Centre Pompidou and the Vitra Design Museum. Alongside their commercial projects, the studio continues to develop independent research initiatives that investigate the relationship between design, industry and the environment.
