Co-founded by Imma Matera and Tommaso Lucarini, Tipstudio<\/a><\/em><\/strong> was born from the union of a more poetic-narrative vision of the project with a more material-artistic one. Florentine by adoption, the creative duo operates in different fields of design with an experimental, yet contemporary <\/a><\/em>approach. With a different background, the designers met in 2017 within the Viareggio Gumdesign studio, with which they both collaborated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imma was born in Matera and has always been fascinated by the traditions, rituals, and poetry of her land. She attended the faculty of architecture at La Sapienza in Rome, where she received an Industrial Design degree and then a Master in Product Design. Before moving to Florence, where she initially collaborates with IED Florence as a tutor for the Master of Design for High Craftsmanship, she worked for several design studios in Rome. These experiences allowed her to refine her practice, with a strong link to the narrative and emotional aspects of the project. Tommaso, on the other hand, grows up in the family artistic foundry surrounded by workshops and art. This led him to have a greater interest in the more manual aspects of the project. He attended ISIA in Florence and then participated in study experiences in Finland. After his graduation, he first collaborated with several studios and after that, he moved to New York where he had the opportunity to work in Gaetano Pesce’s studio. On this occasion, he was able to deepen his artistic, critical, and experimental vision of the design world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tipstudio was born from the meeting of these designers, and the studio’s works are precisely characterized by the peculiarities of both. As they told us, their approach is almost complementary and creates good complicity and balance at the design level. While Imma manages to bring a more emotional and poetic vision to the project, Tommaso contributes in a more material and sculptural way, creating a unique and original result. Although the projects are constantly different, a synthesis of daily experiences, of confrontation, dialogue, and mutual criticism, the duo tries to adopt a method that almost always remains the same:
“… we base our work on continuous research where the strong narrative component – linked to the social and cultural aspects of a place – is intertwined with the direct experience that matter and the sensations generate”.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
