Since 2018, different practices have developed in parallel; design, photography, teaching, and painting. As these activities mutually inform one another, they help expand the notion of having a creative practice that can take on different forms. In 2022 Formafantasma (Milan, IT) opened a second office in Rotterdam as a result of a long time collaboration. The satellite functions as an office with the aim to translate research-driven insights into more commercial projects. A selection of clients include: Jil Sander, Bvlgari, Calvin Klein, Marni, Flos, B&B Italia, Hermès, Ferrari, Cassina, Tiffany&Co, Prada, Friedman Benda, Giustini Stagetti, NGV Melbourne (OreStreams), Serpentine (Cambio). The office moved to Middelburg end of 2024. Painting started as a way to materialize memories and find a way to connect to, and process visual material encountered during research. The encounters, proccessing, selection and editing is a crucial part of discovering the precise value of these images. Teaching started in 2017 at the BA Design Academy Eindhoven, at a department formerly led by Ilse Crawford (StudioIlse) that later continued by Thomas Lommée (Open Structures). In 2022 teaching expanded to MA Geo-Design, led by Metahaven. Collaborators in photography include: Francon, Besnard, Pane, Ficus, Kamakura, Berg&Berg, Spring Court, 100Hands. This page shares a selection of works developed since 2015.
