Time as a Circular Motion
Formafantasma
A series of clocks track the progress of different time intervals with each timepiece considering the passage of time using the singular qualities of precious materials. The designers intend to bring the viewer’s perception of time, place and object together in both a physical and imaginary space. Formafantasma, Italian design duo Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin, produce works and installations that record the significance of objects as cultural conduits from their Amsterdam based studio. They identify their role as the bridge between craft, industry, object, and user and seek to stimulate a more critical and conceptual design dialogue through their work.
Interrogating the origins of materials while experimenting with new uses and casting a critical eye on culture, commerce and consumption, Formafantasma’s work is elegant, unexpected and thought-provoking.
