life and the way that we are all intertwined... how without the life of others, nature, the helping hands of the things that surround us, our life would not be possible. thank you mom + dad for giving me life today 29 years ago + for all the love and sacrifices you made for me... and thank you to all my ancestors who have given life which enable me to be who and where i am today.
the thought of souls + philosophies coming together to make new creations that affect and hopefully support the lives of others, i believe, is the core of design itself. this idea of 'collaboration' is illustrated beautifully by the work of studio formafantasma. they describe themselves as:
andrea trimarchi and simone farresin are formafantasma - two italian designers based in eindhoven, the netherlands. andrea and simone's current interests are in re-evaluating disappearing craft techniques by creating links between local cultures and global context, and integrating craft elements into the industrial processes. apparent incongruities or unexpected mixes are part of their work, as well as a desire to play with the boundaries between fragility and durability, low tech and hi-tech, and the cheap and the valuable.
although all their work is lovely with, as stated in their philosophy, a mixing of different aesthetics, i am particularly drawn to their work 'rapsodia'. delicate + intricate work, the mono-tone nature in which it is presented makes you want to dive deeper into their world. when viewing their work, it reminds me of the connections that we have in life and how although from afar seem simple + create a beautiful full image, when looked upon closer, it is actually built of small individual parts, that when brought together, help to make the picture... complete.
