'First the materials, then the shape' Formafantasma interviewed by Vogue Italia, January 2014

"Defined as "modern alchemists", the two designers in their early thirties Studio Formafantasma have realised that the secret of their own cleverness lies in a formula. Calling it "alchemy" is certainly fascinating, but is more accurately described as an insatiable curiosity for everything that lurks beneath the surface of things" writes Elena Bordignon. Talking about their new collection 'De Natura Fossilium' Formafantasma explains to Bordignon that like other projects they have already realised, this was born from a passion for Sicily and in particular to Etna. "We liked the idea that it was the very nature to provide us with the material to work with." explains Simone Farresin.
