Formafantasma

 The   first comprehensive  monograph on multidisciplinary design studio Formafantasma, one of the most creative and innovative design duos working today 
 Formafantasma is a research-driven design studio founded in 2009 by Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin. This monograph offers a comprehensive, critical examination of their pioneering practice. 
Over the past decade, Formafantasma has emerged as one of the most influential studios of its generation. Founded in 2009 by Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin, this research-driven creative practice challenges established norms and works fluently across disciplines to redefine the possibilities of contemporary design.
  Formafantasma  is a systematic survey of their wide-ranging portfolio. Featuring work ranging from product design to spatial interventions, the book explores their rigorous, context-driven methodology through collaborations with Prada, Flos, Artek, Fondation Cartier, and many other leading institutions and brands. 
 More than a catalogue of work, the book functions as an in-depth exploration of the nature and purpose of design today, positioning Formafantasma within wider conversations on materiality and culture. Extensive interviews with Trimarchi and Farresin sit alongside contributions from leading scholars, practitioners and curators, grounding the studio’s output within a global design discourse. Contributors include some of the most important voices in design, philosophy, architecture and art, such as Paola Antonelli, Alice Rawsthorn, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Hella Jongerius, Marianne Goebl, Domitilla Dardi, Anna Tsing, Emanuele Coccia, and Andrés Jaque. 
 The result is both a definitive account of Formafantasma’s trajectory and an essential guide to the ideas shaping contemporary design, offering deeper insight into the intellectual frameworks driving the field forward.
