Andrea
Trimarchi (17-03-1983) and Simone Farresin (15-09-1980) are
Studio Formafantasma – two italian designers based in
Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
The
collaboration between the two started during their BA in communication
design, illustrating books and magazines. Their interests in product
design developed on the IM masters course at Design Academy Eindhoven,
where they graduated in July 2009 with a thesis based on traditional
Sicilian folk craft.
The
work of Studio Formafantasma touch relevant design issues such as the
role of design in folk craft, the relationship between tradition and
local culture, a critical approach to sustainability, and the
significance of objects as a cultural vector.
Andrea
and Simone believe in the role of the designer as a bridge between
craftwork, industry, user and objects. From this in-between position
the studio is interested in creating a design practice that merges
craft and industry, local necessity within the global context and on a
conceptual level, to stimulate a more critical and conscious
relationship of the user with objects.
The
aim of the studio is to create in time a coherent body of work both
with self-commisioned projects and in collaboration with companies.
