About this Item

According to the Museum, "This retrospective will focus not only on objects and installations but also on the creative process and mental world of Studio Formafantasma. The title of the exhibition refers to alchemy: the transformation of everyday raw materials into precious goods. Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin do something similar as designers. An extensive research and work process results in products and installations that raise questions about the role of industry, globalisation and sustainability.".

About this title

Synopsis

Italian designers Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin together form Studio Formafantasma. Based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, their work explores the role of design in folk craft, relationships between tradition and local culture, critical approaches to sustainability and the significance of objects as cultural conduits. Published to coincide with an exhibition of the studios work, this attractive and seemingly tactile monograph touches upon all aspects of their remarkably hybrid aesthetic and simple objective beauty, featuring more than 150 photos of their work, plus original essays by Alice Rawsthorn, Marco Petroni, Fredic Baas, Lidewij Edelkoort, Libby Sellers and others.
