Formafantasma: Listening as a Design Tool at Salone del Mobile 2026
The latest issue of Glocal Design Magazine, titled 'Visionarias del espacio,' showcases 15 women architects and interior designers from Mexico, featuring collector covers by Jimena Estíbaliz and Prince Láuder. During Salone del Mobile.Milano 2026, Formafantasma's founders, Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin, underscored the importance of listening as a crucial design element, critiquing the overwhelming visual noise in the industry. They stress the significance of dialogue and observation to cultivate a mindful material culture. Based in Milan and Rotterdam, their studio has shaped projects like Cambio in collaboration with Artek. Trimarchi called for more profound conversations about materials and cultural accountability, reminiscing about a disordered stroll in Brera, and advocated for formats that minimize screens to enhance communication.
