Since graduating from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2009, they have forged a distinctive practice characterized by careful attention to process and sustainability, and a critical consideration of materials and their historical value. They work as much with leather, wood, and charcoal as with ideas and concepts, ever mindful of the political and cultural forces informing their decisions. Formafantasma’s work has been presented and collected by museums internationally, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum, New York; Victoria \u0026amp; Albert Museum, London; Chicago Art Institute; and the Stedelijk in Hertogenbosch, Netherlands. Trimarchi and Farresin also direct workshops and teach at the Design Academy Eindhoven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"gambalunga-candle-holder","title":"Gambalunga","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe elegant Gambalunga seems to defy gravity.

Designed by Formafantasma, whose practice is rooted in cultural and historical nuance, this candleholder, too, alludes to a timeless practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Formafantasma","offers":[{"title":"Brushed Brass","offer_id":19641406086,"sku":"BGIA-BRA","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/1781\/files\/prod_BGIA-BRA_Front_01.png?v=1777656171"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/1781\/collections\/Designer_Formafantasma.jpg?v=1776856330","url":"https:\/\/www.rollandhill.live\/collections\/formafantasma.oembed","provider":"Roll \u0026 Hill","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
