GamFratesi
“We try to create intimate products, furniture as micro-architecture – we would like to invite people to interact with them and hopefully you will start a relationship with them.”
Gamfratesi is an award-winning design studio founded in 2006 by Danish architect Stine Gam and Italian architect Enrico Fratesi. The studio is based in Copenhagen, though Gam and Fratesi are continuously travelling between Italy and Denmark for development and research of new projects.
“GamFratesi is a small studio and we like this “human” dimension, ” Enrico explains. “Every project is followed in intimate and personal way by me and Stine. It is therefore not either of us on our own who takes care of a project – it’s rather an intense collaboration where our personal skills and culture come together for a common purpose, to try to give the best in every single project! “
GamFratesi’s design takes its creative drive from a fusion of tradition and renewal and in an experimental approach to their chosen materials and techniques. With their dual traditional background, Stine and Enrico draw on the classic Danish furniture and craft tradition as well as the classic Italian intellectual and conceptual approach. Understanding a tradition and addressing it actively in the workshop makes it possible to expand on it.
From this cross-cultural substrate they create furniture that respectfully reflects tradition while also featuring unique embedded stories, symbols, and associations, often expressed in a minimalist idiom. GamFratesi aim to create furniture that illustrates the process and the techniques that created it, and which reflect a persistent exploration of the diverse border zone between harmony and disharmony.
