Formista
2021
Formista is an innovative collection of furniture pieces that blend sculptural artistry with practical functionality. Each piece is a fusion of classical three-dimensional form and handcrafted textured finishes, creating a striking, elemental juxtaposition.
Drawing inspiration from classical architectural forms, the furniture’s substrate is crafted using plywood shaped by a CNC router. Renowned craftsman Andrea Borelli then applies unique hand-mixed finishes, using an experimental blend of cement, natural pigment, and resin. The result is a distinctive, tactile, and durable finish that adds to the pieces' allure.
These creations represent a harmonious marriage of technology and craftsmanship, seeking to encapsulate an elemental beauty in a functional, calming sculptural form.
