The Good Thing Journal

We are: 
Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin, an Italian designers duo based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. 
In Formafantasma, we have developed a coherent body of work characterised by experimental material investigations and explored issues such as the relationship between tradition and local culture, critical approaches to sustainability and the significance of objects as cultural conduits. 
Our exhibition ‘Cambio’, opened last March at Serpentine Gallery, shows an on-going research on emerging environmental awareness into a renewed understanding of the philosophy and politics of trees that will encourage informed, collaborative responses.

We believe:
Design plays a crucial role in our environment.
