Designing with Purpose: Inside Formafantasma’s creative process

We are delighted to be joined by Simone Farresin and Andrea Trimarchi, the visionary duo behind the acclaimed design studio Formafantasma, with studios in Milan and Rotterdam. Working with brands such as Prada, Artek and Flos, they have created exhibitions, installations and shows at the Serpentine Galleries in London, the Venice Biennale and the Salone del Mobile in Milan. 

Simone and Andrea explore the transformative power of design and how it shapes our world. They share insights on the importance of conversation and dialogue in their creative process and highlight the need to respond to the present moment. We explore their diverse work with different clients and cultures, the evolving role of artificial intelligence in design, and their belief that form should follow function.

In this episode we also get an insight into their personal design preferences and their vision for contemporary design, objects and interdisciplinary exchange.
