→ Formafantasma

Formafantasma is a research-based design studio investigating the ecological, historical, political, and social forces shaping the discipline of design today. The studio was founded in 2009 by Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin to facilitate a deeper understanding of both our natural and built environments and to propose transformative interventions through design and its material, technical, social, and discursive possibilities. Working from its studio spaces in Milan (Italy) and Rotterdam (The Netherlands), the practice embraces a broad spectrum of typologies and methods, from product design through spatial design, strategic planning, and design consultancy. Formafantasma was awarded the Wallpaper* Designer of the Year in 2021. Trimarchi and Farresin have lectured widely, and their work has been presented and published internationally and acquired by institutions including MoMA, NY; V&A, London; and the Centre Pompidou, Paris.
