The newest are the exhibition display furniture and seating designed by Formafantasma, all of which were made from a single tree blown over in a storm in northern Italy in 2018.

Their work, a blend of graphics and illustrations, is 100% digital and produced with Adobe Photoshop and Wacom tablets (“Studio”). The business was founded in 2007 by Pietro Gaudenzi and Cristiana De Zanche.
I am very excited to spotlight Studio Fantasma, an art duo I discovered on Instagram.
