Since founding Formafantasma in 2009, Italian designers Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin have championed the need for value-laden advocacy merged with holistic design thinking. Their aim is to facilitate a deeper understanding of both our natural and built environments and to propose transformative interventions through design.
Cambio is a series of investigations into the way wood is sourced and used. Each of the studio’s investigations represents a collaboration with experts from the fields of science, conservation, engineering, policymaking and philosophy. Together, they move from a microscopic analysis of wood and its ability to store carbon dioxide to a metaphysical understanding of trees as living organisms.

Still hugely important to those of us who grow, harvest, design and make in wood.
