    La Bottega Italiana by Formafantasma

    The La Bottega Italiana palette draws from the atmosphere of Italian neighbourhood botteghe, spaces formed through routine, daily life and use rather than design intent. It reflects interiors where colour lives in walls, wood and patina, developing quietly over time. Warm, lighter neutrals remain mineral and chalked, meeting deeper, lacquered shades with a quiet richness. The colours sit close together, building depth through layering rather than contrast, creating spaces that feel calm, grounded and enduring. Under warm light, the tones soften and reveal subtle complexity. La Bottega Italiana is a palette designed to settle naturally into interiors and support everyday life over time.

    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.
